How do I sync my Pocket Pc with 2 computers?

Hi,

I have an Ipaq that I have had for some time now, I used to be able to sync
between my home PC and my work PC using the same partnership - this used to
work fine.

For some reason this now seems to be a problem, when I sync with my work PC
it syncs correctly but when I connect to my Home Pc I get the 'Set up
Partnership' box, this then goes on to the 'select name for the partnership'
box which displays the name of the original partnership but does not allow
me to use it (when I click 'ok' I get 'partnership name already in use'). If
I create a new partnership, I get the same problem when trying to sync back
to my work PC.

It seems that Activesync will no longer allow me to sync the same
partnership with two Pc's - although it used to.

You can delete the partnership on your home computer, and then recreate it.
Make sure you soft reset your Pocket PC before creating it again. When asked
if you want to delete the sync files you have the option to keep them and
synchronising back to your Pocket PC when creating the partnership again
(assuming you will use the same name on your Pocket PC).
