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.

Hi everybody!
I have a problem with synchronizing my contacts, calendar, tasks etc. When I start Active sync, it synchronizes all the files (music, photos, etc) and programs but could not synchronize outlook!! I reinstalted several times Microsoft Outlook 2002 (which was on the getting started CD) but it doesn't help. When the synchronization is over, the following message appears, when I click on the Exchange message: "The server could not be reached.This can be caused by temporarly network conditions. Support code: 80072ee2"
On my PC, I use Outlook Express 6.0, maybe it's not compatibile with the MO 2002??
Also, I don't see any ikon of the MO 2002, I could not open it on my PC ( could not find it), but in the folder of Add/Delete programs is present (192 MB)!
The message on my device is: Exchange Server Synchronized: None.
I really don't have any idea what should I do to synchronize properly all the information.
Maybe someone of you had a similar problem and could share the experience.
I would be very grateful!!
Hi marbron!
First thing you need to do is sort out the Outlook installation on your PC. If you can not open it, it is not properly installed. Since you can't sync with express, you have to let Outlook 2002 replace it as your default mail program.
Second, when you created a partnership in ActiveSync, you must have chosen to sync with Exchange server directly (first V you get).
When device is not connected, go to File->Delete mobile device, then connect you device and create a new partnership. Make sure you uncheck 'Synchronize with Exchange server directly' on the first page.
Hope this helps.
I don't know why I still have problem with the Outlook. I delated the program and reinstaled it again, I delated the device on Active Sync and connected the device. The message was, that I could synchronize only files, music etc and not contacts, calendar, task because I don't have Outllook instaled...
During the set up wizard of Outllok there is a funny message, that the program will instal the following aplications: Microsoft Outlook 2002 and there is a red cross with (not available), but when I click:instal it does it properly only in one moment the system message appears: you don't have a disc inside, please insert disc (the disc is of course there!!). I have to click several times on continue and then the message disappears... Of course, again I can't find the program on my PC, only it appears on add/delate programs.
I really don't understand it. Maybe the version of Office that I have (Microsoft Office 2000 premium 9.0.2812) somehow creating a problem.... Or maybe the program on my official CD has problem (I don't think so, because Active Sync from the same CD is working ok)...
I really don't know what I should do.
Any ideas???? :idea:
So, any idea?? Could somebody suggest me what should I do???
Please!!!
Same problem
I am having the exact same problem. I tried various fixes but nothing worked. I can't sync my PDA at all now. It used to work ok but starting 10 days ago it simply stopped. The only think I did was using the Internet Connection Sharing applet. After using this applet - no sync at all. And the Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) in Windows XP displays a stupid message; see atachment.
marbron: It sounds to me like your CD may be damaged or dirty so some parts of it (namely the ones with Outlook) are not readable.
Try cleaning it and the drive.
In any case you should also delete the partnership from PPC side before establishing a new one.
Innovative: Internet sharing disables ActiveSync but should restore it when deactivated.
Did you try to reset your device? If you are using an unofficial ROM this may be a bug and you may have to hard reset.
Also how are you using WMDC under XP? It was my understanding that thing is for Vista only.
Any way, try AS 4.5 and see if that works better for you.
hi guys

Same here... Athena and TyTynII
The Athena was a pain to get to work with vista mobile device center. Once i got the drivers for Athena installed, the tilt no longer works.
Is this do-able? 2phones->1PC?
Right now I have the incredibly cumbersome work-around of copying my PST file to another PC and syncing the other phone with that PC. Obviously not very smooth process .
ideas?
Hi all
received my Shift yesterday, took a bit long to sync all data but is def. a cool device. Vista running surprisingly smooth.
There is no docs on the go or similar programme in snapvue (the WM6 part) so no word or powerpoint attachments i receive by email can be opened. It does not use office which i have installed on the vista part neither to do so and i have no clue howto open my office documents in snapvue.
any idea? Thanks, Cheers, Steve
At the moment, it can't be done, until a way is found to copy altered dll files onto the snapvue part so we can access full windows mobile - which is there but hidden.
It is being looked at, once more of the developers get hold of a Shift, things will happen.
thanks, thought so, i cannot understand how they can ignore such a hyper obvious user need. I asked HTC helpdesk but from there is silence so far
Hi,
Couple of things....
[Rant]
It's Bill's fault!
Active sync deletes calender entries from PC if they've been deleted from the phone, despite been set to update phone from pc if dispute????
Mobile Office is incompatible with standard office!
I bought a WM device so I could use documents from either on either!
A customer sends a price list in xlsx format and the phone doesn't recognise it!
Simple things two windows machines should be able to do and they can't get it together!
Bill's name remains mud! [/Rant]
I don't suppose anyone ones of ways to sort this out without reformatting files?
Cheers,
Gavin
Office Mobile Beta 2010
Did you try using Office Mobile 2010 Beta.. Its available in Microsoft Market for free..
see the problem there is that you deleting something from the phone doesn't cause a dispute because the log will show that it was specifically deleted.
disputes are more along the line of editing the pc version and then editing the mobile version differently.in such a case active sync would overwrite the mobile version. not how you WANT it too work, but not technically a fault.
as for the file types....I have office 2004 and that doesn't support xlsx... unfortunately that doesn't count as a fault so I don't get a free upgrade.
Tweek - Get your client to send in normal, standard xls format that a half dozen different programs can understand.
Hi,
I guess it's true what you're saying, but the latest Mobile office shouldn't have a problem with Office 2007 files.
There's a free update patch for the older versions of office from MS, I did my laptop last week
Pity there's not one for Mobile Office!
Cheers,
Gavin
Mobile Office can handle Office 2007 files without problem. However, not all features are supported. It is documented on the MS site. Yes, you need to be careful when you carry a document over different platforms.
Send an affectionate greeting to all users.
Windows 8 does not support Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. Does anyone know of any solution to the connection on Windows 8 terminal with Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5?.
It is a real problem that has no solution so far by Microsof.

Hopefully you find some solution by Microsot and Major Developers in the network.

I found the same problem on Windows 8 (RTM x86) and Office Outlook 2010.
It seems not a simple solution for "ordinary" users.
Even after many setting changes, even after every fix I know was done, WMDC can't sync with Outlook.pst file.
It is the first time I have this kind of ptoblem since many years I use Windows Mobile!!!
Is there someone who knows how to fix that?
Sync problem on Winodws 8 & Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC)
There is something strange in all this situation.
On PC W8:
Notes are inside Outlook.pst file -> they can be synched.
Calendar, Contacts and Tasks are inside Outlook.pst file -> they can't be synched.
Favorites are files inside the PC in C:\Users\xxxxx\Favorites -> they can be synched.
On PPC WM6.x:
Notes are files inside the main memory at \My Documents -> they can be synched.
Calendar, Contacts and Tasks are inside pim.vol file -> they can't be synched.
Favorites are files inside the PPC in \Windows\Favorites -> they can be synched.
My conclusion is:
Pim.vol file can't be managed by WMDC in Windows 8.
possible solution
I had a similar problem with Office 2010 on Windows 7 and I could solve it like this:
1) create new Outlook profile and select it as default
2) as the new profile was automatically created in a different new folder, copy the .PST file into it
3) manually add email accounts if they don’t exist in the new profile
4) uninstall and reinstall WMDC
5) on WM device, export Calendar + Tasks + Contacts on storage card with SKTools (just in case, to have a backup)
6) on WM device, delete Calendar + Tasks + Contacts with SKTools, to avoid duplicates
7) delete all partnerships on PC and WM device
8) sync with WMDC.
I searched a long time for a solution and in my case, the key was to start with a new Outlook profile which probably created all the necessary links to permit WMDC synchronization.
Maybe this helps also on Windows 8.
Good luck.
They know...

Thank you.
I did know about that, in fact I tryed this procedure too... but it doesn't work.
On Windows 8 the problem seems to be another one.
I called Microsoft customer care. They know about this issue and they are working on it.
So, they told me to wait.
To be honest, I didn't understand if they will release somenthig...

They didn't bother fixing it for WIN7x64 so I wouldn't count on it.
