Steve,
I'm a newbe to this group, but it has helped me greatly. I am having
no problems with active sync. Even though you can only create a full
partnership on two computers, I use my office comp, my home comp, and
a laptop. I set up a guest partnership on the laptop, but only to
back up my data on my pocket pc. I find the file transferring a real
pain, because you sometimes loose something in the swapping back and
forth of document file extensions. Get a usb thingy for that!.
Oh yea, the advice.... be sure you have the latest version of active
sync, and the same versions on all computers. Hope this helps some.
