Sorry to bother you with this question, but you might actually know the answer instead of only giving me a guess. :-) When I tried to sync my planner entries and contacts between my BrailleNote running version 6.2 and Microsoft Outlook I got an error message saying, "An exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." That is what my BrailleNote said. My computer had a somewhat longer error message in the keysync log, but I was unable to read it all do to some JAWS misbehavior. Someone in tech support said that the cause of the problem is likely to be my version of Microsoft Outlook, which came with Office 97. Do you know for sure if that version does not work? It worked fine with my Nokia 6620 cell phone. There were entries from my phone in Outlook already. I hope they could not cause the problem, but I did not test syncing with my BrailleNote before syncing with the cell phone, since no entries were present in the BrailleNote or Outlook before that. I used to use a custom made database, but decided I would no longer do that once I thought syncing would be possible. I intend to try the new version of keysync when I get my upgrade to keysoft 7, but I don't suppose the problem will go away.
Syncing with Office 2003 on someone else's computer worked fine, but that was with a fresh contacts list in Outlook, and of course the newer version of office. I just want to make sure that buying a new version of Office really would solve the problem, because it isn't a cheap solution.

I can't think of a reason why that wouldn't work (except it might be very confusing!) Anyway, if you're just transferring files activeSync is all you need so it shouldn't be an issue. I think sometimes people might get the idea we change things just for the fun of it, so here's the reason: When I came to do the French localization, it wouldn't accept non-ASCII characters (such as 'é') within an XML tag. Which is where the names, etc. used to get put. So it changed from, for example, <name data="François"> to <data>name</data><value>François</value> which is a nicer and more flexible way of doing it anyway. regards, Andy.

Again, this is the result of some improvements we have had to make to the KeySync application for the sake of reliability, stability and adding extra language support.
