Do I need to delete the old partnership with active sync and create a new partnership before repopulating the address book into VS?
Thanks, Steve _____ From: Michael D.

Now you can sync with Outlook to repopulate the address book.

The sequence I've followed in the past is to delete the address.dat file from the VS flash disk database folder. Then I backup my settings, revive my VS and restore settings. Then I create a new partnership through active sync and load my PC contact list into VS. My question is, is it necessary to backup my settings, revive VS etc. In other words, is there harm just deleting the existing address.dat file and then just immediately loading in the PC contact list back into VS through active sync? Perhaps there is a knowledge based article on this? Thank you, Steve -- Michael D.
