Hi Paul, I'm not Dean, but you don't have to leave it on. What can happen though is that you may have a transfer fail with a large file if you don't turn it off. Personally, I have it on and only experienced problems with file transfers of a meg or more, so it probably depends on several variables in your system.
If you're going to use a pcmcia or flash card, I really would recommend getting a card reader for around 40 bucks and tranferring files that way. I do use activesync a lot, but pretty much for files of 1 or 200 K such as braille books. Don On Tue, 23 Dec 2003 16:26:57 -0800, Paul Henrichsen wrote: Hi, Dean.
