Synchronise desktop with tablet

Hi,

I'd like to synchronise the "My Documents" folder and also my Outlook email
between my desktop and tablet pc. I already have the desktop syncing with
Pocket PC 2003.

Before I go play with ActiveSync - does anyone know if I can _ALSO_
synchronise my tablet using bluetooth or wireless over network (preferred)?

Thanks in advance!

LF

Previously discussed many times. Just search on the word 'sync' in this
newsgroup.

Tablets are just like regular laptops and PCs. They are not Pocket PCs and
so ActiveSync is useless. You have to use the same sync/comms/networking as
you would for any other pair of Windows (XP) machines.

I use Second Copy 2000, from http://www.centered.com , to sync
documents and E-mail between my tablet and desktop machines. It's a
great program: inexpensive, powerful, and reliable. It works over any
type of network connection.

The thing to remember with Second Copy, is that it syncs your most
recently saved outlook.pst file.

So if you alter items in outlook on both machines before sync'ing
them, you risk only retaining the information from the most recently
used machine.

I have lost numerous emails and appointments that I have forgot to
sync before working on my other machines.

Re: Synchronise desktop with tablet

You might want to take a look at
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/. Originally built for
cross-platform file synchronization, but should work on same platforms
as well. Affords some manual configuration however (see
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/u....html#tutorial).

Regards

Dan

SureSync (www.softwarepursuits.com) can be configured to handle conflicts
any way you want. The only thing I wish it had was the ability to pop up
a dialog with a list of conflicts for you to quickly resolve. Instead,
you have to re-run in preview mode, then find the conflicts, then resolve
them. It doesn't take long but it can be a pain.
