Dual PC sync - moving one to W7

Hi

I have used my mobile (WM5) to sync my office PC and my private PC for
all of outlook.
I now have reinstalled the private PC with W7 pro 64bit. I moved the
pst file from outlook as well and outlook is running as before.
How do I proceed now with the synchronization?
I am afraid it doubles or deletes all the entries if just attach the WM
device since it looks at it as a new synchronization.

Thank for any hints.
Franz

How do you "MOVE" Contacts and Calendar to a subfolder. I cn create a
subfolder called Contacts2 and Calandar2 but can't seem to moove the
contents of the original?

TIA,

OK, I did exactly this. Everything worked fine for the private PC. I
only have the problem that I encontered a lot in the past with Outlook -
it always messes up (doubles, triples ...) with birthday entries in the
contacts: All of the birthdays of my contacts appear twice in the
calendar now. For now, not on the private PC, but on the mobile, and I
am sure if I sync to the office PC tommorow there will all be twice
there too.

Just deleteing is the easy part ... I dont need a KB for this ;-)
Solving or preventing the issue seems to be the harder one.

Thanks anyway
Franz

Have you tried deleteing the calendar with the duplicates, then import the
calendar items from the other outlook.pst file then resync?

There is definitely a bug in the activesync, either in 4.5 or in the W7
version together with OL2007.
- I deleted all bday entries from all calendars
- I recreated all bdays on office pc normal serial element
- synced to mobile -> perfect on mobile and office pc
- synced home pc -> all created, but, with a repeat sequence of 12 years ?!?
- corrected on home pc - synced to mobile -> perfect on mobile and home pc
- synced to office pc -> changed all entries from 1 year to 12 years
sequence

active sync and OL2007 mixes up / changes 1 to 12 years on series
elements. I am afraid I will never get that correct.

This seems to be a known issue with OL2007:

Does anybody know if there's a solution 'in sight' for this?

Thank a lot
