Default Replacing the Contacts Database

Was there any specific reason you wanted to do this?

Depending on what you expected synchronizing to do, I'd think this would be fairly simple. Something like this should work:

1. Copy the Contacts database from the Pocket PC you want to your host using ActiveSync.

2. Delete the Contacts database from the Pocket PC containing the database you want to replace. (Warning -- this might cause any contacts on your host PC to be lost if you're connected as a partner, but that may be what you want.)

3. Copy the Contacts database from your PC to the Pocket PC.

I don't know what effect that would have on synchronization, though. With luck, synchronizing after this would populate Outlook with the new contacts.

Try the above at your own risk. :-)
