:?: This may be a very simple thing for some of you experts out there but I would be grateful for some help.

I store a lot of different documents (PocketWord, PocketExcel, IAP, PDF files) on my CF storage card in my Toshiba e750 and I try to keep them in a My Documents folder with a number of subfolders to keep everything neatly ordered. However, I cannot access these files from the relevant program (eg PocketWord) unless all the files are in the My Documents root folder. If they are in a subfolder the program doesn't see them. Is there anything I can do on the CF storage card to make all folders and subfolders viewable by all programs?

In a similar vein, is it possible by using ActiveSync to synchronise files automatically which are on a storage card as opposed to in the main memory?

Well, I'm not sure if this would answer your question, but my iPAQ (4150) won't let me create subdirectories within My Documents folder in the first place, so I assume it's not possible to get one to work...

Not that I know of, perhaps a third-party sync software?

Unfortunately, no, there isn't. This is a compromise they made in Pocket PC to simply the file browsers.

What you can do is to use File Explorer to open the files. PWord/PExcel will read them fine, and write to them -- it's just that they can't, in and of themselves, list them.

As for Storage Card syncing, look at MightySync (http://www.mydocsunlimited.com/html/mightysync.html).

You should be able to in File Explorer, at least.
