I can't believe this is so cumbersome in Outlook/ActiveSync. The default
location for my main .pst file in Outlook 2002 (I'm using WM for PPC 2003,
ActiveSync 3.7) is in my Windows folder (Local Settings/Microsoft/etc...). I
guess that's fine, but sheesh, I'd like to maybe keep that default data file
store in a more friendly location...like My Documents.
Well, I can copy the file to where I want (with Outlook closed of course), I
can point Outlook to the new location, make it my default, remove the
"original" file, everything seems fine. Outlook sees all my data just fine.
But my very next ActiveSync is unhappy. It sees all the items in Calendar,
Contacts, Tasks and Notes as "changed", and tells me it has a problem. Would
I like to overwrite what's on the handheld with what's on the computer (I
select that one), delay synching altogether, and Combine them (I don't feel
like having thousands of duplicates, thank you). All the items synchronize
fine except for Notes (??). I can't get Notes to synch with my re-located
pst file! WTF?
I've read the MS knowledgebase articles about creating a new blank pst file,
synching with the handheld (deleting all the items on the handheld!),
importing everything, etc. then re-importing the items from the desktop.
What a hassle.
Does anyone know an easy way of simply moving my default information store
for Outlook so I can sync? Thanks.
