Well, guys. I'm back. I upgraded to ActiveSync 3.8 and it seems to work fine. not really different to the previous version, as far as I can see. then today, I went to sync at home. ActiveSync recognised my HP, synchronised calendar and contacts, but threw up a message that "Files" had not previously been synched with this PC, did I want to merge them or replace one or other set. What??? FWIW, I had a problem with my BT Broadband, which the integral help feature identified as changed settings, which it then fixed. Now, I don't think I changed any broadband settings, so I'd put it down as one of those weird things that happen from time to time. But now I'm wondering if such a change of settings could cause ActiveSync to not fully recognise my HP and think that the files had not previously been synched? To "fix" the problem, I moved my synchronised folder to a safe place and synched again, successfully this time. I'm 99% sure the most up to date versions were on my HP, so I PROBABLY have not lost anything but, can anyone suggest what is going on and how I can prevent it? Fingers crossed you clever guys can com eup with something
