That's just the problem - Outlook will dump all those appointments or contacts onto your Pocket PC whether you like it or not. ActiveSync is a trickster here - it LOOKS like you should be able to control the flow of data based on categories, but you can't. This was the crux of my problem and why I was so ticked off when it didn't work - because it really SHOULD. The pieces are there, but the people who designed it didn't really think things through. They were working from a ONE POCKET PC = ONE PC paradigm, nothing more.

It's too complex to explain - I can only suggest you give it a try and see what I'm talking about. :-(
