Sync problems - OneNote Mobile '07-XP-ActiveSync 4.2/5.0-WM5

[Bernard Kruger]

Help! The only reason I bought Office 2007 Ultimate was for the OneNote, and
particularly its purported ability to sync with a pocket PC. Now school is
about to start in a few days, and I have yet to sync for even the first time.
I keep getting the "Attention Required" message in ActiveSync 4.2/5.0. My
OneNotes on the WM5 device are automatically stored in the Application Data
directory, but the sync process seems unable to find them there and convert
them for use on the PC. I have tried cutting and pasting, but that clearly
serves no purpose since the format is very different from the PC OneNotes. Is
anyone familiar with this problem? MS tech support was unable to come up with
anything. I'm stuck and sooo frustrated, because OneNote seemed the coolest
idea I've seen in years, if only it would work!

You might try uninstalling and reinstalling ActiveSync. I've seen that
solve sync problems on occasion.

I had problems with 4.5 and went "back" to 4.2. I had just refomatted my
hard drive and that 4.5 install was a clean new start. Didn't EVER work. So I
uninstalled and went to 4.2.

Try that. Good luck! OneNote is very good for school use.
