Good Evening,

I have a large 12,000 contact database in BCM 2007 and only want to sync a
couple of categories to my smartphone which in total contain under 1000
contacts, as I don't need or want all 12,000 business contacts on my
smartphone.

I have installed BCM on my Windows Mobile 5 smartphone (Motorola Q) without
a problem using the Microsoft provided download.

I am able to sync my Outlook contacts with no problem.

However, when I connect my smartphone, and select Business Contacts in the
Windows Mobile Device Center - Change Content Sync Settings, I see the option
to click on Sync Settings below Business Contacts which should allow me to
select the desired categories for the sync.

However, when I try to click on the Sync Settings it never opens up to allow
me to select the desired categories.

Any ideas how to remedy this?

Hi Tripp
Since your number of contacts are too hight, the the sycn setting
would take a while to show up.

Hi Vinit,

I thought at the time that that this might be the issue but it was not. I
even waited well over an hour at one point without any result. However this
was later resolved by deleting the partnership and starting over and it then
was able to work properly. Thank you for responding.
