Has anyone have this experience?

That you need to have Outlook 2002 running before your PPC can access and synchronise with the Contacts, Inbox, Tasks, Calendar from your Outlook 2002?


My friend told me that, I need Outlook 2002 running (if it is a stand-alone version and not through MS Exchange Server), to act as the server for the ActiveSync.


So can someone confirm this? What I currently do, is having my Outlook 2002 running the whole time while I'm near my desktop.

Hmm. Ronan, how do you get it to work??

I get errors from ActiveSync that telling me it cannot sync the contacts/inbox/calendars/tasks with Outlook (something to due with security permission?).

And if I have Outlook running first, and plug my iPaq onto the docking cradle, and start they ActiveSync's connection, then it will find its required peer for updates.

My Outlook 2002 is part of my Office XP Professional installation.
