Callum, done as you said, and it has installed OneNote on my PPC. However, it will not sync, on Async, it just says attention required, and there doesn't seem to be any way I can sync it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ASync, but no luck.
Thanks for all your help so far.
Does anybody have any idea how to get around this?
Cheers.

...OK, have found the problem, but have no idea what it means nor how to fix it. The following 2 lines are in the WCESMgr log:
07/03/2006 21:20:00.796 ERROR: Initialization of SSP 'Microsoft OneNote' failed. Error: 0x80004005.
07/03/2006 21:20:00.796 ERROR: Unable to start SSP 'Microsoft OneNote'. Error code: 0x80004005

Have googled until the cows came home, but no luck. Can anybody shed any light?
Cheers.

im guessing that youve done all the following things:
Have the latest version of active sync
Performed a PPC soft reset
The checkbox for OneNote is available and ticked in Tools|Options for active sync
The registry entries are correct and the folders are typed with correct slashes
Using the usb cable to sync rather than wireless

check that OneNoteMobile is storing its data in the correct place:
/Application Data/Microsoft/OneNote Mobile (you should see the OneNote titles as files)

im a bit stumped tbh however it seems to be a OneNote problem on the desktop i think and a reinstall of OneNote desktop would be a good idea. The mobile one can be left on your device without a problem.
Google does not have details about OneNote because its only just out however the problem you describe can affect Oulook and other programs and found this old link that might give some clues:

yeah, I've tried all that. I'm fairly certain that the reistry entries are correct. I'm a bit of a novice at that kind of thing, but it does seem fairly stright forward.
I've even done a clean boot, but the same problem is there.
Nevermind!
Cheeers anyhow.

So, what does this mean for your regular OneNote notebooks? Does it mean you can't take them with you onto OneNote Mobile?

You can, simply by replicating the contents of the notebooks in the mobile section of OneNote. It should sync across to your device.

[mkordahi]

That syncs the contents of the regular onenote files, but can you actually edit them in OneNote mobile?

What I'm getting at is, what's the point of having a moble version of your primary note taking tool, when you can't edit or view notes taken while on a laptop or desktop. Or any of the notes that you've taken over the past 3 years as a OneNote devotee.

So, i guess if you want true sync for all of your notes, you have to do everything in a mobile notebook.

Which is what I was hinting at earlier. I guess Microsoft still sees the laptop as the ultimate road warrior - perfect for creating and editing regular OneNote files. The Pocket PC is more of a "desperation" tool - good for jotting down quick notes without powering up a computer, and with the benefit of syncing back to a laptop or desktop. Due to OneNote Mobile's lack of features, it's not really suitable as a replacement for the OneNote application itself. Hence, it's just another simple mobile client.
