That might be a cause;
  • MS Works doesn't normally save a spreadsheet in a format PPC's can read. Have you managed to convert them to an Excel compatible file? Valid extensions such as .xls or .xlt?
  • File syncing is not similar to Contacts/ Appointment syncing. As Nurhisham Hussein said placing it in the my documents folder should automatically copy it over. If I have misunderstood, please elaborate.
The files do copy to the PPC when I synch so that's not a problem.

I've tried saving my MS Works Spreadsheets as XLS files and this means that they now appear on my PPC but when I try to open the file I get a simple error message!

"An Error Occurred while opening [file name]"

I've tried a hard boot on my PPC as well and that did nothing.
