Hi Marianne and All, First, sorry, but no work around here, as KeySync doesn't seem to work well for me, either. I'm thinking that it might for some folks; however, every time I try to use it, I almost always seem to get lots of messages about duplicates and conflicts, so have just pretty much stopped using the program for now.
If I decide I really want to synchronize several things, meaning if I've gotten several things on my BN and don't want to copy them all over by hand, well, having backups and all just in case of problems, I go into Outlook and delete all my contacts and calendar entries, and then synchronize with the BN and let them all be put back, as the first time of just putting the things on the PC of course doesn't pose the problem of the duplicates and conflicts. And, although it has been a bit of time since I've done this, if memory serves, to make sure that my info doesn't get taken off the BN, I delete and then recreate the partnership before doing the synchronizing. Now, when I first got my PK and used the version of KeySync with the 6.0 KeySoft on the PK, things seemed to work much better. In fact, if memory serves, I only started having these problems with KeySoft 7.0 and its new version of KeySync. Also, I have two phones running Windows Mobile 5.0, and I use ActiveSync to synchronize my contacts on the PC with both these phones with no problem at all, although I don't, for who knows what reason, want to keep my calendar on my phones. So, let's hope that KeySync really does work much better with KS 7.5.

I have a 32 cell bnbt MPower transplant. Due to financial restraints, I was unable to update to 7.2 until recently. I looked forward to this upgrade as I was told many problems with key sync would be resolved in this version. This has not been my experience! When I spoke with a Human ware tech support person about the problem, I was told the issue is related to a key sync “bug” and that this would be resolved in the next software release. Do any of you currently use key sync to synchronize outlook contacts and appointments? Is it working well for you? If you had problems but found a work around, can you describe it? Finally, I have read this list off and on for years. For the most part, I remain a list lurker. That being said, I read and appreciate much of the information that is shared so generously on this list. With sincere thanks to those of you who are brave and tenacious contributors!
