2 PC Calendar Sync Issue: Outlook does not recognize name

Here is my setup: 1 PPC (iPAQ H5555) syncing with PC at work (OL 2002)
and PC at home (OL 2002).

I can synchronize to the work PC with no problems or errors. When I
go home, I synchronize the PPC to my home PC and get the following
calendar error: "Outlook does not recognize <name>", with the name
being an address in a meeting calendar event from work.

I can't skip this, or the calendar even won't appear. If I choose to
find another name, then delete the name being conflicted with, I can
complete the synchronization. However, most meetings will end up with
me as the meeting organizer when I should not be. The problem this
causes is that any updates by the original meeting organizer no longer
take.

Any help on this? I have deleted and reestablished the partnership on
both PCs. Is this a issue due to the fact that my work company uses
Exchange mail server? Also, downloading the work addresses to my PC
is not an option - far too many.

Hi,

Take a look at #6 in "What Causes Unresolved Items", on Chris De Herrera's
site ---

I have found that you *do* need to add those people to your Contacts before
you can synchronize the meeting. The same applies to Resources (Conference
Rooms, phones, etc.).

Raj and Kathleen -

Thank you both for responding. Kinda bites that this is the
workaround for this issue. My work meetings include people that I
would never interact with at any other time, so it would be more work
to manage this.
