Post subject: Active Sync with 2 devices ?
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>pocketpc>activesync (more info?)

Hi --

I'm a beginner using Active Sync and have a question. I have an iPAQ 1910
that I sync with Outlook. I also have a handheld device that I just want a
guest partnership with so I can move files back and forth between the PC and
the handheld (don't want to sync anything with Outlook).

How do I get Active Sync to see both at the same time? Right now, I only
see one or the other. I would have thought that I can select which device I
want to use from within Active Sync and the File > Mobile Device. But
Mobile Device is dithered and thus not active for selection. I must be
doing something wrong, but what?

Thanks for any help.

This scenario is not currently supported by Active Sync. ActiveSync can be
connected with one device at a time only, which includes Guest partnership
also.

bummer!

but thanks for the quick answer. Now I know what to expect -- or as the
case is -- what not to expect.

Hi,
If all you want to do is transfer files, you can consider getting a network
card for the H/PC and using File Explorer to access a network share on your
desktop. This can occur at the same time you are synchronizing.
