ID: Q196087

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows CE Services versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2

SYMPTOMS

When you synchronize mobile channels with a Palm-size PC (P/PC), some channel items may remain out of date.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur when channel items are not accessible from the Internet. Channel items not accessible from the Internet are outdated since deleted items are not propagated to your P/PC.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior by minimizing the number of outdated channel items, follow these steps:

1. Double-click My Computer, double-click Mobile Devices, and then click

   your P/PC.

2. On the Tools menu, click ActiveSync Options, and then click the

   "Automatically synchronize if data is out of date" check box to select
   it.

3. Under Synchronization Services, click Channel Item, click Options, and

   then click to select all channels that are out of date in the Select
   Channels To Synchronize box.

4. Click the Advanced tab, click Automatically Connect To The Internet,

   click OK, and then click Close.
