After I restore my device with the Pocket Backup Plus, AS gives you 3 options (something like this):

-Desktop overwrite the PDA.
-Combine
-Ignore

I have a problem when I sync with 2 PCs (Home and Work).

First I sync with my Home PC (PC that has all the latest info), it ask me the question, then I chose to "Desktop -> PDA".

Then things gets bad with the second PC (Work PC, not the latest info), it ask the same question. If I choose Desktop->PDA, then I loose some data. If I choose Combine, then I get a bunch of duplicates Task and a couples of duplicates Appointments. 8O

The solution is to have PDA -> Desktop.

So, 1st PC: Desktop -> PDA
Then, 2nd PC: PDA -> Desktop

How can I have "PDA overwrite Desktop"?

Buy a Palm... :wink:

This is a common request, wish we would actually see it implemented... :roll:

Don't believe me, see my last ActiveSync rant here... (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=20585&highlight=activesync) :twisted:
