Today I just found out that there are at least 8 files which are in my dopod my documents folder which didn't get synchronized to my documents folder in my desktop.
Why?? this is very frustrating, and unreliable for my work.
If you see the status in activesync, it said synchronized.
Any suggestion with other synchronizing software with Dopod 900 or WM5?
Could anybody with dopod 900 who is synchronizing it's my document folder PocketPC to the computer, could you please help me to do a testing:
Please do the following
Create a folder called Testing with 160files in it under my documents folder.
Synchronized all into my laptop. and after it's done,
rename the folder Testing into !Testing from my PDA. And Synchronized it again. AFter that, I noticed that under !Testing folder in my document Pocketpc in the computer, I was only left with 20 files. There rest have gone missing.
And I can actually duplicate this problem over and over.
I have Office 2007 and have *.xlsx files I want to sync with the pocket PC but the Pocket PC can't seem to see them, they are on the Pocket PC but are not in the Excel "All Folders" List. If I try to open the file from explorer on the pocket PC it says "There is no application associated with the File. Run the application first, then open this file from with in the application" But the Excel application in WM6 won't open it. Why would Microsoft release office 2007 and WM6 at the same time and make them incompatable?????
If this is true it is the most stupidest thing I have found so far, please someone tell me I am doing something wrong!!!
Its true. WM6 will not read Excel 2007 format. Well, most of you business partners neither. So you will end up saving all your documents in a friendly 2003 compatible format
...or switch to open office... (NeoOffice on a Mac...)
How are you uploading them too the phone? Are you copying them to a storage card or going through Active Sync?
I can't test it myself, but it's possible that active sync might solve your problem because it does some sort of file conversion when you sync files doesn't it? Perhaps the latest version, or the one in Vista will sort this?
Or maybe MS have just not realised the problem yet, woudln't surprise me!
They are through Windows Mobile Device Centre on Vista. The files are in the sync list.
This is so unbelievable that it is stupidity, it just does make sence, maybe microsft will release a patch to fix there F#*k up.
Well, I read about it: AFAIK there is no 2007-to-2003 conversion within ActiveSync. So you just save the files as 2003 files from Excel 2007.
I want to backup the contacts but not using the computer. In my XDA Exec, I just copy a file in the root directory by the name of pim. When I copy this file onto any other windows device, it automatically gets me all the contacts, last calls, calender. etc. Is there any such file in O2 mini also. And can I replace it with one on O2 XDA Exec and vice-versa?
But o2 mini is not charmer. Charmer ist ONLY Mda Compact 2 from t.mobile.
Back to your problem: do not do this if you like your contacts. It's the direct way to hell. PIM database must not be compatible between different versions of OS in your device (yes, i have tested it, the last problem I remember was crossing between aku2 and aku3.3 on charmer). Often it is, but sometimes it isn't. The best way to backup is to use outlook sync. However if you cannot use it for some resons, try some of free utlilities that are using csv export/import
must go now, will edit later
Hi, I am not normally a software developer (normally a web developer) but I have written a program in vbs which I need to be able to send files via activesync to my PDA. I have asked around and no one seems to know of a way to do this in vbs. Does anyone out there know of a way to get activesync to transfer a folder to the phone without having to litterally drag and drop the files your self. It would be great if there was a way I could call an exe to transfer the folder e.g.
activesync-transfer.exe "the directory to take files from" "the directory to put files in on the phone"
Or if there is a function in vbs it would be even better. As I say I have never done anything like this before so I am really needing some help. Any ideas, no matter how wacky appreciated. Thanks in advance
Jamie
whats wrong with copying the files normaly using explore in activesync or using mobil devices in my computer?
Er, would you really like to your application which is designed to store data and export it to your PDA to pop up saying: "BTW, I've no idea how to program this part so could you just open up that slow old program called active sync, hit explore and then browse to this directory and then copy the files to this directory from this other one"? Not really, I would like this process to be automated if possible.
Please if anyone can help, let me know.
You can copy a file from desktop to pda with RAPI and the
CeCopyFile() function to create a file on the pda.
Then open the file on the desktop and copy the content
to the new pda file.

Er, sorry if this seems a little ignorant of me. Is this a vbs function? As I said earlier I'm not the most experienced desktop programer. Thanks for your help.
Jamie
I am C++ programer. This is a ActiveSync Remote API function. I think you can call this function from vbs with some work but I do not how, dont have knowledge with vbs. sorry.
Houser
Another way could be to use the ActiveSync file synchronisation.
You can configure ActiveSync to sync a folder on the desktop with
one folder on the pda.
So your vbs app must only copy/create files in the desktop folder
and AS will sync them to the folder on the pda.

I was doing this for a bit but not many people have it set up and not all devices support it. In the end I used Microsoft's Cecopy and other apps from their Windows Mobile Power Toys to do it. However, I can't distribute these EXEs with my software as they are copyrighted by microsoft. If you ever hear of any freeware EXEs that do pretty much the same thing please let me know.
I need two apps:
Cecopy - copies files to and from the device (including sub directories)
RAPI_Start - starts files on the device
Thanks

I have a HTC Touch HD running Windows Mobile 6.1.
Also using Blackberry Connect to provide wireless synchronisation to email, contacts and appointments via my corporate BES.
Have the SoftMaker Office 2008 for Pocket PC to allow me to work on word, Excel and Powerpoint files on my mobile device.
The SoftMaker Office 2008 programs (Testmaker, Planmaker and Presentations) are all associated with the appropriate file file types.
For example if I click an an excel file the file is opened for editing by Planmaker, not pocket excel.
The Problem.
I receive office type documents as attachments in my windows mobile device email. However when I open the attachements from within the eMail the default pocket word/office applications are used to show me the attachment instead of the Softmaker applications.
I work in EH&S and the majority of attachents I receive are Incident Notification Forms which are a large multi tabed excel sheet. Because they are large and they take a long time and considerable space to fully download.
I am happy to be able to see the initial part of the attachment (with option to download more) but I would like to see this in Planmaker as pocket excel screws the formating so badly I cannot read the summary information (displayed on the initial tab on the spreadsheet) which I need to read to determine if I should download the entire file to my mobile device for immediate action or if it can wait until I am back in the office.
Is there a way to associate an alternative application (eg Planmaker and Textmaker) other than Pocket Word/Excel to handle attachements in the windows mobile e-Mail Client?
I have asked this of the Softmaker Office Support team but they were unable to provide a solution.
Hope I have explained my issue appropraitly, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Ed
No one with any ideas?
