For technical note: ActiveSync is solely used for file synchronization purposes. I regularly use ActiveSync to synchronize files, make backup of my BN data to my PC, and more. I hope when HumanWare releases SDK for BN, I hope they're going to take advantage of "add or remove programs" feature of ActiveSync to add and remove programs designed for BN. For synchronizing KeyList and KeyPlan, BN uses a program called KeySync which acts as add-on to ActiveSync. A note on Explore item: when you browse BN in ActiveSync, you'll see that Flash Disk is listed as a folder. This is because ActiveSync and Windows CE treats KeySoft System Disk as "root" directory (typically called My Device). Therefore any device added to BN would be listed as a folder. By clicking this folder such as Flash Disk you're effectively browsing the device associated with the folder name. (CompactFlash cards are listed under either Storage Card or CompactFlash cards depending on the location of the card.) I hope this information may help you. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
