Swiching Configuraton

L

LD111134

I want to run a wireless synchronization application that
monitors changes to my PIM information on my desktop
installaton of Outlook 2003, then ports those changes to a
server that then pushes them to my Pocket PC device.

However, in order to do this, I must change my desktop
Outlook 2003 configuration from "internet only"
to "corporate or workgroup". How do I do this, and would
there be any adverse consequences given that this is
a "stand-alone" PC and NOT connected to an exchange server.

I acknowledge and greatly appreciate your collective
insights.

Outlook 2003 does not have modes - it is a unified client and has been since
Outlook 2002. I suspect that your program requires an Exchange server -
check with the programmers. Also, please ensure that the program will work
with Outlook 2003.

Milly,

Thanks, but I actually made a mistake...I have Outlook
2002 Service Pack 3. Is your answer the same?

I acknowledge and greatly appreciate your knowledge, time
and efforts!

Yes, as I stated before, Outlook 2002 and 2003 do not use modes but have a
unified transport system.

Thanks, Milly.

I have an additonal follow-up question.

My wireless carrier (Verizon Wireless) offers a wireless
synchronization technology called WirelessSync v. 5.5
(developed by Intellisync).

According to Verizon Wireless' technical support, this
WirelessSync technology will push to my Pocket PC device
changes to my contacts, tasks and calendar that are
stored on my home desktop's Outlook 2002, PROVIDED that
my Outlook is configured for an exchange server. However,
one of the Verizon Wireless technical support people told
me that this push technology is REALLY dependant upon my
Outlook being configured for "corporate or workgroup"
rather than "internet only", and that Verizon
representatives only say that you need to be on exchange
server in order to push PIM data because they don't want
to have to walk anybody through changing from one
configuration to another - thus, they take the broad
approach of simply telling customers that they need to be
on an exchange server in order for the push technology to
operate.

Here's my question, given that I'm now using Outlook
2002, is the only way for me to get on an exhange server
in order to configure my system for the equivalent
of "corporate or workgroup" - i.e. does Outlook 2002
simply detect the exhange server and make the appropriate
adjustments and if it doesn't "see" and exchange server,
the user's Outlook is configured for the equivalent
of "internet only"?

I realize that this is a very long-winded inquiry, but
I'd greatly appreciate your help!

Only Outlook 98 and 2000 had those modes. The Verizon techies have air
between their ears.

May I suggest that you join the Yahoo! group PPCUniverse? A lot of us deal
with issues like you describe in that group. There's also a web site,
http://www.ppcuniverse.net/ that will point you at the group.

Thanks for turning my coat to this Yahoo! group, Brian.
I'll definitely check it out and maybe I'll "see" you
over there!

Ciao,
