Hi don, You actually have given me an idea. I had the cradle for the maestro connected via the usb and the maestro was sitting in it. One of the reasons I was running active sync was because of the maestro. I remember asking a while back if it was possible to run maestro and the bn in terms of active sync. I was told yes. Anway, once I disonnected maestro from the usb port, the items such as delete partnerships actually showed up and no longer reported itself as unavailable. So before I started going through the steps you suggested, I turned on bluetooth on the bn and paired it with my computer. I then went to utilities and told it to connect using bluetooth. I heard sound from the bn. I then told the bn to sync now. I got a message again saying it couldn't find the partnership. But in addition to that, I was told to run keysync and if I was using windows firewall, I had to uncheck port no 9-- I didn't catch the last two numbers and for some reason I couldn't get it back by smply running sync now. All I get is cannot find partnership with no further message. Can you tell me what this means? Thanks. You have been a big help along with others on the list.

To do this, disconnect your MPower from the pc to be sure Activesync is not connected anywhere. Then open activesync and access the files menu and arrow to delete partnership. It should allow you to delete any or all partnerships. After you delete the partnership, make sure you also haven't inadvertently set up an additional one. Keep deleting until you get the message that delete partnership is not available. Then, Connect your MPower and pc and when activesync comes up and asks for a partnership, hit enter on "yes". You should then get the list of 7 check boxes for synchronization. You want to uncheck all of these except possibly for the one for file synchronization if you want to do that. Note that this just synchronizes a file or files you place in a specific directory on the pc which is created by activesync to the same files on a special directory on the MPower which is also created by activesync and should't be confused with syncing contacts or the planner. You use keysync for syncing the contacts and/or planner. Also, you may want to do a 4 5 6 (j k l) reset on the MPower before you try to create the partnership to be sure it's also deleted from the MPower end of things. Remember that if you have to do a 4 5 6 (j k l) reset for any reason, the partnership you previously created will no longer exist when activesync on the pc tries to connect to the MPower. This all sounds rather complicated, but it really is quite easy once you've done it a time or two.

I have installed active sync 3.8. during the installation, I was asked which partnership I wanted, and I chose standard. Yet, when I tried to sync with the bn via bluetooth, which seems to be set up properly now, the bn said it could not find a partnership. I looked under file and saw that delete partnership and get connected were marked as unavailable. The other thing is I seem to remember in prior versions of active sync, I had to specify the name of the partnership. But I didn't see it this time during installation. P.s. One of these days I'm going to actually sync my planner and contacts with the bn.
