Hello!
I am not sure which newsgroup to use for this one.
I have SBS 2003 SP1 with Exchange SP2 and XP SP2 workstations. I just bought
a new phone with WM6 on it and ActiveSync works great for Exchange stuff,
but I have a problem with Excel files. I have a spreadsheet for my mileage
that is in Excel 2003 format. I used to use it with my ancient Palm m130 and
Dataviz Documents to Go, which I have removed from my computer.
Every time I sync the Excel file to my desktop using ActiveSync, I can then
edit it on my workstation normally, but when I edit it on the phone and try
to save it, it always says that it must be saved as a different name and
that some formatting may be lost. I can save it as a different name, then
edit it again on the phone, and it saves fine until I do another ActiveSync
of the file. I see no changes in its layout or data between the version on
the phone and what is on the computer.
Are the versions of Mobile Office apps on WM6 the miniatures of Office 2007?
That might explain it. There are no macros in the file.
The only reason I am still on Office 2003 is for syncing my Palm to Outlook.
It is too old to sync to Outlook 2007, and I was waiting to get a WM6 phone
before moving to Office 2007.
Thank you for helping!
