Hi Ray, First, the HW site seems to have ActiveSync 3.7 on their site. But, you can go to this page and download ActiveSync 3.8 from the Microsoft site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync38.mspx And, second, when you set up the partnership with your BAN, unless you want to synchronize files, you should make sure all those other boxes are unchecked, including the contacts. KeySync will handle the synchronizing of the contacts and planner; so, you would only check the box for file synchronization if you want to synchronize files. And, if you don't want to copy files that way, then none of those boxes should be checked when you set up the partnership. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Campbell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 12:35 PM Subject: [Braillenote] Address List Synchronization Problem Hi All: I'm having a problem getting Keysync to synchronize my address list with MS Outlook. I'm using a Braillenote M-Power BT running Keysoft 6.2. I'm running MS Outlook XP on a Windows XP Home edition, with Microsoft Active Sync Version 4.1 or 4.01 installed. This was the version of Active Sync I found on Microsoft's website. What happens is this. I have created a partnership and checked that I want to synchronize contacts. I connect to Active Sync on the PC with the BN and then from the BN Utilities Menu, I go to Synchronization. I get the Keysync menu and choose Synchronize now. The BN says it is synchronizing, and gives me a running percentage figure so I can keep track of its progress. Once the sync is done, however, when I go into my address list there are no fields populated in the records even though records have been put into the address list. My Outlook entries are populated like this: Under the first field that comes up under each contact entry, Window-eyes says "full name." I'm typing in the name, first and last. For example, the name John Smitnh I have typed as "John Smith". I have the file as field set to Last name, First Name. So, in the case of John Smith, it would be filed as "Smith, John". Finally, I at least have the e-mail address entered in the contact. Other fields may or may not be populated based on what information I have. Can anyone tell me why the address records are not getting properly populated? What I mean when I say the fields are not getting poppulated just to be clear is that I go into the address list, hit "l" to look up addresses, then on the "Selection List for Address" prompt, I hit enter. I then hear and see nothing from the speech or on the Braille display. When I hit space bar to go into the record, I hear "end of list." I can press space with dots 5-6 and it doesn't give an error tone so it acts like it's going to the next record, but again, no data is there.
