Having visted the various forums have still not found an answer.

I have a Sony TR5 bluetooth laptop. I have an iPAQ 3850 with bluetooth jacket. I have the latest version of Microsoft Active Sync.

Whilst the Ipaq and the laptop can communicate via bluetooth and make a serial connection Active Sync refuses to run.
The only way active sync will work is via the usb cradle.
Any one any thoughts? Please help.
Having established which comm port that bluetooth uses and choose the option of sync only when asked to sync the dialogue box that comes up says that the device trying to connect is not a Smartphone or PDA.
Many thanks.
