Mark Stanton Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 better take communion and pray about that one mr s So you mean it ain't gonna work then If it means having to type it all into my PDA then c'est la vie I suppose its an opportunity to update them fully. Just hoping if everything else is synced up why not contacts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilb Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 There is an option in the sync software which set how the contacts are sync'd PDA to PC, PC to PDA or Both ways. This is so that if you have a master list on one device it is not over written by the other. HTH Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 Yep I know that bit Neil and have set it to transfer both ways which it does fine for everything without overwriting and losing info all except for contacts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
