Hi
Am a newbie to pocket PCs - previously had a handspring - now proud owner of an iPAQ H4350 - and cant resolve how to keep other files - namely Word & Excel files - consistently synced between my PC and my iPaq. Have gone to ActiveSync List - Files - Settings and added the files I want to sync. It worked fine first time, but I've since updated the PC versions of those files, and yet when I run Activesync again it doesn't indicate against "Files" that any need to be synced nor does it actually update the ones on my iPAQ when I run ActiveSync! If I go back and check what's entered in the files list, it still lists all my chosen files - so why doesn't it automatically sync them when they've been updated?
I did read something else about syncing files where it said you must drag the PC versions into your Pocket PC's My Docs folder EVERY time - but please tell me that's not true! Surely there's a way to select files to be synced (as I've done) and ActiveSync then syncs them whenever they've changed?? If not, is there any software that automatically will do this?
Lastly, I note ActiveSync will only sync files to the iPAQ's main memory. Is there a utility that syncs up files when they are stored on your storage card?
Appreciate any help.
