Hi
How can I set up Outlook 2003 so that two separate users can work with their
individual calendars, contacts, tasks and sync only their info into their
respective Windows Mobile 5.0 phones?
One user is coming from the Palm OS. That info was successfully imported
into outlook using intellisync lite. A separate profile was setup for the
second user. The problem is that one profile has multiple calendars,
contacts and tasks, and I can not tell what will sync to where. HELP!

Thank You

How do I synchronize two Pocket PCs with the same desktop and separate the
data?

Scenario: My wife and I both have Pocket PCs that we want to synchronize
with the one desktop computer that we both use at home. We can create
partnerships between our Pocket PCs and the desktop computer, but our data
gets combined so that I end up having all of my wife's appointments on my
Pocket PC and vice versa. How can I keep my wife's data from getting
synchronized to my Pocket PC?

Solution: The solution to this problem depends on how you want to use
Outlook. If you want to keep the data separate in Outlook then the solution
is two create two profiles in Outlook. The easiest way to do that if you are
running Windows XP or Windows 2000 is to create separate Windows logon ids
for you and your wife. A separate Outlook profile will be created for each
user id so that when you log in to Windows and then start Outlook, you will
only see your data. Likewise, when your wife logs in and starts Outlook she
will only see her data. You can then synchronize your Pocket PCs and only
your data will synchronize. This solution requires that you log in to Windows
each time you start your computer, and that if you are logged in and your
wife wants to sync you have to first log off and then let her log in.

You can also create separate profiles directly in Outlook 2000 if you
configure Outlook 2000 for corporate or workgroup mode. Open the Mail setting
in Control Panel to create the profiles and configure Outlook 2000 so that it
prompts for which profile to use each time you start Outlook. To switch
between the two you will need to need to shut down and restart Outlook.

If you want to combine the data in Outlook so that you can see both of your
appointments in the same calendar, you can separate the data by assinging the
appointments to specific categories and then configuring ActiveSync so that
it only synchronizes items in specific categories to a Pocket PC. Create a
category for yourself in Outlook, for example, Frank. Then assign all your
appointments that category. Finally, double click the Calendar information
type in ActiveSync and select to only synchronize appointments in the Frank
category to your Pocket PC. (Keep in mind that when you sync two Pocket PCs
with one desktop computer each Pocket PC must have a unique device id. Make
sure you select your Pocket PC before configuring your ActiveSync settings.)

It is important to remember that you can only use Outlook categories to
control what data that is on a desktop computer synchronizes with a Pocket
PC. One data is on a Pocket PC it will synchronize with all partner desktop
computers. For example, let's say you set up your Pocket PC to synchronize
with your home computer with ActiveSync configured to only sync certain
categories, and you also create a partnership between your Pocket PC and work
computer. You create a new appointment in Outlook on your home computer,
assign it to your category so that that it syncs to your Pocket PC. When you
connect your Pocket PC with your work computer the new appointment will
synchronize with the work computer. In short, once that appointment is on
your Pocket PC there is no way to prevent it from syncing to desktop
computers.
