Hi
I am trying to sync my device with WM^ active sync 4,5

Connection and partnership works fine
but when it syncs contacts and calender from my pc if starts and lists 0/168 contacts but then straght away a tick comes up and no contacts or cal info loaded on my device its like it syncs 0 items

starting to bug me as i have no contacts loaded at the MO

I have deleted partenership twice and done soft reset on device

i must be missing something

Thanks for your help

Matt

I take it you are running Windows XP?

Do you have your contacts in any subfolder or are all in the same folder? Are you sure there's no Filter applied in Contacts on your device?

Open Contacts, tap Menu | Filter...

Have you tried a soft reset lately?

Found the filter but still no joy

Would love to get this solved is there any other way perhaps through file viewer that i can see if i have contacts loaded ie. maybe a pst file or similar located on the device

when Syncing it dosent increment the number of contacts synced just goes straight to zero

I suppose you are synchronising to a local Microsoft Outlook account, not an Exchange Server? If so, look in Office folder on your PC for a program called SCANPST. You can run it to check your PST files for errors.

If you are synchronising to an Exchange Server let us know.

If nothing, then perhaps a hard reset?

Your device will be restored to its original status. The easiest way is to open Settings and look for "Clear Storage". Sometimes it's in Programs.
