Avoiding Sync Disaster
To sync with my PDA and Vista, I had to upgrade to Outlook 2003. I synced once with Airset and then with my handheld (Windows Mobile) and got duplicates so I deleted the appointments and contacts in my handheld and in Outlook. Now, I'm concerned that to run Desktop Sync I'm going to delete my Airset contacts. Would a reinstall of Desktop Sync eliminate that possibility? Or...?
I’m verrry cautious

Inappropriate?The basics of sync are that changes on one side are reflected on the other - including deletions. So you contacts or schedules in AirSet will be deleted if you sync now. Just reinstalling sync will not change anything. Oulook has a "Deleted Items" folder from which they could be retrieved and then re-synced to AirSet.

Don't want to use any of the old Outlook appointments or contacts in Airset. Is there a way to simply delete all old files from Outlook and my PDA and repopulate those databases with the data from my Airset calendar and contact list? Is the export function (to a vCard file, etc.) the best way to do that? Or is there another way to just overwrite old Outlook data with what's in my Airset computer? -
Inappropriate?There was a mistake in my previous post.
Since you deleted contacts and schedules in Outlook, on the next sync, you will be asked "You have deleted xx Contact records on your PC. Are you sure you want this record DELETED on AirSet?"
If you click "Do Not Delete" then the contact in AirSet will not be deleted and copied to your Outlook.
For Calendar data, you can also repopulate them in the same way.
