Synchronising Notes

Topic

New Reply

Does anyone know how Activesync is meant to synchronise with Outlook Notes? I always get a message that my Notes can’t be synchronised. I don’t know why. I can’t resolve the items either manually or automatically. Everything else works fine. Any ideas?

I’m using Active Sync 3.1, Windows CE 3.0.9348 build 9616, Windows 2000 (update 2) and Outlook 2000 (SR-2).

Activesynch 3.5 will allegedly synch Notes but for PocketPCs only (not HPCs). Download at:

Thanks Keith, I’ll give it a try. Strange that 3.1 has Notes as an option and as I’ve only just bought the machine I’d have expected HP to give an update or to say something about it on their site. Just goes to show that WOPR is ahead of the game, as always!

Cheers

I’ve tried version 3.5 but it’s still giving the same error message. I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting, as suggested but it still won’t work.

Any ideas?

Hi Colin

Tried resetting your PPC?
I’m using a Jornada 680 with ActiveSynch 3.0 so the Notes issue is academic for me anyway. (For that matter I don’t use Notes anyway).

Cheers

Yes I have reset it… many times.

Got an answer for this, so I thought I’d post it for others. Apparently this is a known problem – Microsoft have posted a KB article about it. I just didn’t find it. It’s due to a damaged .pst file which needs to be rebuilt. See article Q305544.

Now I’m a happy bunny!
