I am trying to connect two mini's to sync with the one PC (MS Outlook).
I have one mini with the contacts in a particular category and the other in another category.
Is there some way of keeping the category selected after closing the contacts and then re-entering? It seems to always go back to All Contacts.
Thanks
Any ideas?

My apologies if this subject has been discussed before.
My Outlook Contacts currently holds about 2,100 records from around the world, which are primarily business contacts. As it would not be practical to sync everything to my imate, I put the most frequently called contacts into a custom category and sync that category only.
It has become a problem, however, when I need to have access to a contact which is not in my ppc and I have to wait to get to my pc.
Is there a way to segregate selected phone contacts for access by the ppc Contact software, and then have a separate contact database where I can put the rest of my 2,100 contacts for access anytime I want to, with full phone features?
To put it in another way, is there a ppc facility or a 3rd party software which can create and keep updated a Contacts database, with full phone features, but is separated from the regular ppc Contacts database (which is accessed by the phone)?
Would appreciate your suggestions. Thanks.
Not sure what the problem is, I have over 2.5K Contacts and still less than half my memory is used.
All of my Calendar, Tasks and the last 3 weeks of email.
My Contacts are also business related and are heavily Categorised with some Contacts being in 4 different Categories.
I'm using ActiveSync 3.7.1
No problem
I have the same numbers of contacs and I synch them everyday...
Synchronizing 2,100 is not a problem at all. What I want is not to see all of these 2,100 contacts everytime I want to dial a number through the Contacts directory. I want only about 4 dozen most-frequently called number to appear on this directory, with the rest in a separate database, referable only when I need to.
My question: Is this possible?
If you put [Categories] on your Contacts, you can view them by Category. The default is ALL Categories. e.g. I copied the ones on my SIM card to OL and gave them a uniquie Category - "AAA", so they'd be at the top of the list of Categories.
Then when I go into my Phone Book on the XDA, the first thing I do is change the selection from ALL Categories to "AAA".
Works for me.
When I categorize my Outlook contacts on my phone, either via business or some other category I have one problem.
I can filter by category, but after I close down "contacts" all the filtering goes away, because when I open up contacts again, ALL my contacts are shown. I just want one specific category to be shown as default.
Is there a solution to this?
Hi,
my Outlook contains several hundred Contacts and i don't want to synchronise them all with my HD.
Is there any way to synchronise only some of them?
I already opened a new folder in "My Contacts" naming it "Contacts HD" but ActiveSync always wants to synchronise all of my Contacts instead of only the ones in that folder.
Any help???
Thanks, Oliver
Outlook will only sync the contacts folder.
Create another Contacts folder and drag all the contacts you don't need to sync into that.
You used to be able to sync categories - but Microsoft removed that useful feature - thanks Microsoft.
I had same concerns but the HD handles hundreds of contacrs effortlessly. Have you tried it?
I know, but not everyone wants to keep all the contacts on there!
hi when i sync my phone with outlook using active sync, it duplicates all my contacts on my phone and on my computer contacts, i now have 3 entrys for each person on my phone and comp, firstly how can i stop this happening and second how can i get rid of duplicates. i would only like to use the sync options for calender and contacts, please help as its really annoying. thanks
Sounds like you are syncing with two different computers or you have an old sync profile still active on the phone? This results.
Options.
1. Remove one of the sync profiles from the phone under Activesync (on the phone not via PC) preferrably the old one.
If all your present PC outlook contacts vanish, dont worry, just look in you deleted items folder in PC Outlook and move the required ones back to contacts.
2. Search the web as there are a few duplicate Outlook item removers around.
When I try to select the contacts for my phone I only have "all contacts" offered for my gmail active sync connection. I don't want to sync all contacts but just one category which I have set up especially for my phone's phone book.
Is there any way to facilitate this?
My current workaround is: sync contacts with google sync instead of active sync. Then I can select exactly the category I want to "see". This way I have to live without "push" though - which I don't really like.
