Hey all,
I'm currently testing out the Beta 2 version of Microsoft Office Pro +, and apart from this issue I'm impressed so far...
When I create a calendar appointment, or task with Outlook, any details that I put in the notes section of the item used to (with Outlook 2003) transfer over to the PPC Calendar and Tasks to be able to view and edit.
But now it's blank. It copies the appointment, the times, whether it's busy/free etc, but refuses to display any of the details that I put in the notes.
Is there anything I can do about this, or is this a glitch with the new software and it's tough? I'm using a HTC Uni (T-Mobile MDA Pro), so posted it in the Universal Board, as don't know if it's a General issue with all devices or just this one.
Cheers!
Dave.
It's working for me. Sorry, that's all I can tell you.

Are you using Office 2007 with Windows XP or Windows Vista?
I'm on XP at the mo, but if you're using Vista I'll jump in the deep end and try that...

HI, I have the problem the other way around. I am using office 2007 beta with activesync 4.2. when I add notes to a calendar item on my universal, and then sync it with my desktop, I lose all my notes on both ppc and desktop.
This is very frustating as I am in the habit of typing meeting notes directly into calendar items on my universal.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks in advance.
I'm using Office 2007 on Win XP. I had it running with AS 4.1 and now with 4.2. Both are no problem. I guess I just got lucky.
Has no-one any ideas how I can fix this
WM6, Vista, Office 2007 Sync Problem
Hello,
I've just upgraded my Universal (O2 Exec), to jwrightmcps' 2.02 Version
Windows Mobile 6.
While on my desktop I'm using WinXP +AS 4.5, and Office 2003 without a problem .
However, on my Laptop (ThinkPad T43), running Windows Vista Ultimate (+Windows Mobile Device Center - The equivalant of ActiveSync), and Office 2007, I'm having problem syncing the device.
I don't get any error on the laptop, but get an 0x8000FFFF error on the device.
None of my Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes etc. is synced in either way.
any one got the same problem?
it is obvious that the combination is the problem, as I didn't experience any problem before upgrading to Vista. (WinXP with ActiveSync 4.5 + Office 2007 worked fine).
any ideas for solutions?

Have you updated your version of WMDC - there was an update a month or so ago. It's referred to in one of the threads on Uni Upgrading.
Bad bad bad!! I'm using final version of Vista, Final version Office 2007, Just downloaded WMDC last week and Dopod 900/universal Windows Mobile 6 Jwright.
if you open outlook 2007 and then write your contact and then in notes just write something.., after you finished synchronizing, the contact was successfully copied onto the Dopod 900, but the the note didn't get copied!
If you write the notes within the contacts under Dopod 900, and then synchronizing it, the note within contact would be copied back onto computer with no problem. so it's only the other way around the problem
Also I have a second problem: Whenever I leave my Dopod 900 synced connected with my laptop and when there is a phone call coming in then I proceed to unplug the usb to pick up the phone, This may result in some sort of data corruption in syncing status, I think. Because after that, when I try to re-synhronize the dopod 900 again, it would try to synchronize from ground 0, so it would delete every synchronized data such as contacts, tasks, calendar in my Dopod 900 and re-transfer from desktop computer into this device all over again.

Try to use AS4.5 as much as possible.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx
I've found out it works better then 4.1 / 4.2
Other then that, I can't help you on the 2007 part

I wish I could do that. I don't think I can since I'm using Vista.
Is this real?
You can't use AS 4.5 with Vista and it doesn't sync correct with Office 2007 otherwise? If that's right that is a classic Microsoft snafu.
Works fine for me with Xp and office 2007 though, on AS 4.5.

Yes it's very real. AS 4.5 not working under Vista.
Anyhow, I bought HTC Athena today and the problem didn't happen with HTC Athena. So perhaps it's device specific.
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.
I have searched the forums and can't find an answer.
I have recently upgraded my M3100 to the official WM6 thanks to the very usefull advice on this forum. I am now running WM 6 on my M3100 using Active Sync 4.5 (Latest) and Outlook 2003 on my desktop.
The problem I am having is that some appointments in my Outlook 2003 Calendar are not being transfered to my M3100. To make matters worse, some appointments appear and disappear at random intervals when I re-sync the device. It has rendered it useless as an appointments diary, which is 50% of the reason why i have a PDA phone.
I have searched extensively on Google and on here. I can find plenty of people experiencing the same problems, but no one seems to have found the answer.
As it is a well reported issue, I wondered if anyone here had a solution?
Regards
Tom
Either downgrade back to what WAS working before, or consider upgrading to a newer version of outlook...
Hello,
I have the same setup you have and have never noticed that behaviour. Well, actually I recently upgraded to Outlook 2007, but I never had problems with the appointments using WM6, AS 4.5 and Outlook 2003. A couple of things you can check:
1. Have you checked the AS calendar settings to synchronize "ALL" appointments?
2. Are you running some rules in Outlook that automatically delete or move appointments?
3. Maybe conflicts between PPC and PC? Is AS setup to automatically overwrite the PC when in conflict or viceversa?
lately i have been having problems with my active sync. i have schaps 4.31 and sc 4.5. when i plug my phone in, the computer says usb device not recognized? what is wierd in the morning everything was fine and now in the evening i am having problems?!?
i would
1 try another usbport
2 uninstall as and make sure to remove all as settings from regedit
and reinstall it
I'm using windows xp on my pc with microsoft activsync 4.5; I've set up the partnership between the pc and Touch HD and it has synced the contacts OK, but it seems to get stuck trying to sync the calendar - using outlook 2003. I've tried both soft and hard resetting the Touch HD; I've uninstalled m'soft activesync, downloaded and installed a new copy, and still get the problem. The programme appears to be syncing but it's been stuck on calendar for ages without appearing to make progress. Any ideas please?
OK if TF3D not running.
Bemi
The very first time I sync'd, it did seem to take forever - I eventually just left it doing it's thing and went for a coffee.
When I got back, it had finished (so don't know how long it took in total), and subsequent syncs have been very quick
One thing I have noticed that seems to be missing (now that you mention) which was on my very old iPaq running PocketPC 2002!
I recall a setting in ActiveSync about ignoring calendar entries which have passed.
Don't recall seeing it this time round, so possibly you get to sync umpty ump thousand 'old' entries first time or something?
Thank you. I subsequently tried disabling TF3d and like you left it running. Came back several hours later and it had sync'ed. To be fair, I was asking it to sync a large number of entries.
Hi
I guess a few of you are already faced the known bug of 86000107, while synch. with 2 PC.
I faced that problem after flashing HTC Touch Cruise, a few weeks ago with the HTC Pro and now with the XPERIA.
I contacted HTC, they confirmed the issue, "we are working on that", I contacted MS, they said " we have an AKU 1.2 patch, available for ..." .- but still - all Windows Mobile 6.1 phone (at least I saw) are not able to sychronize with 2 PC.
At pda.net (http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1117) its written that the AKU 1.2 its inlcuded (IT'S NOT!).
(2 PC means; 2 x WinXP Prof all fixes and SPs installed, 1 with Outlook 2007, 1 with Outlook 2002 at work).
I tried all work arounds, mentioned in several forums (new profile, pst check, etc.) but no changes.
What about you all guys, how are you handling this, or do you just synch with 1 PC?
All professionals Smartphones are not professional if you can't synch. in a propper way to 2 PC (which is standard since windows mobile 2003).
By the way: I gave all devices back to my shop, moved back to my good boy, called SDA with WM2003, synching within 5 min. about 3.500 contacts and closed to 4000 calendar entries without probs, what a benchmark... never reached by WM2005, 6 or 6.1.
Hoping, anyone can give me a helping hand on that, with a proofen tests.
Maybe someoen of you has a direct link to SE or MS, how they fixing the big bug.
Cheers

Remove sync items and re-add them.
I got this error too. Everytime I solved the problem by removing all Sync Items (Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, etc.), then re-add one by one. It'll sync again with the PC your PDA connecting to. But then if you want to sync with another PC, you have to do that again.
I accepted that way because I mostly sync with my laptop, and when going to my desktop: remove/re-add items.
--- thanks for 1 feedback.
But still. it doesn't make sense to check/ uncheck the items every time, even if you have close to 4000 calendar and contact entries (it wil ltake every time at least 2 hours, because of deleting and synchronizing).
How many of the users with XPERIA do a synch, with 2 PCs?
Are you facing that problem?
Cheers

I reported this error to SE as it was affecting me quite badly. Here is their response (after going through 3 levels of support with each one telling me it's user error):
Thank you for you response.
We can confirm that the response from our back office states that this appears to be a Windows Mobile bug when synchronising over 100 entries, which has been rectified by Microsoft.
However, the fix will be in a future software release (MR2) for the Xperia X1, which should be available in mid-quarter 2 (July).

They then go on their "remove all your sync partnerships and try again" thing which I've heard from them 100 times already.
Anyway, just thought I'd let you know that this bug will be fixed by SE soon.
Did anybody test this behaviour with the new ROM R3AA?

A Solution
Hi!
In the last weeks I did lots of research and tried many things, but that sync error reoccured even when using R3AA. Now it seems I found a solution and the real source of the problem.
First of all the problem lies NOT within windows mobile, as most people think, but within ActiveSync. The reason and the solution why I believe that is that I use now another synchronization program avoiding AciveSync and guess what: Up to now there has been no error 86000107 or any other type of problem. Everything works smoothly.
For those interested, I am using the following constellation:
- Two PCs (Vista x64 SP1 and XP SP2)
- Lotus Notes 6.5 (XP) and Outlook 2007 (Vista)
- PDAsync 4 by Laplink
Should any problem occur I will report here.

... and so you also do not use the ActiveSync tool which is built in WM! The faulty part is ActiveSync of WM, not ActiveSync running on the PC!
In my case everything works perfect with AS 4.5 on my PC and an old WM5 device. The problem occurs with my X1 only! So it's definitely a bug of WM/AS of the PDA.

Yes, didn't think of that, sounds right to me. Nevertheless using PDAsync is a working alternative to ActiveSync and on the bottom line that's IMHO the only thing that counts.
