I've just installed my Windows Vista Business edition, and along with it the
new Windows Mobile Device Center (which I understand replaces ActiveSync on
Vista systems). I'm trying to get it to sync my Outlook 2007 notes folder to
my Motorola Q Smartphone (Windows Mobile 5), but it appears that option isn't
available. From what I can see within Windows Mobile Device Center, I can
sync my Outlook Contacts, Calendar, E-mail and Tasks, but the Notes feature
is missing. However, it also appears that I can sync with Microsoft Office
OneNote.....am I required to use this instead, and if so, will I be required
to move all of my Outlook Notes entries into the Office OneNote application
(I certainly hope not).

Alternatively, is there a 3rd party application that can be used with
Windows Mobile Device Center that will enable Outlook Notes synchronization?
I tried using my previous Smartphone Notes add-in (which worked with Windows
XP/ActiveSync 4.2), but that's not working anymore under the new Vista system.

Thanks,
Terry

Thanks for the link.....however, this product looks like it's overkill for
what I'm aiming for....and I believe it'll only work with Outlook PST files,
whereas I'm on Exchange Server and therefore my Outlook uses an OST file.

It'll work. I'm using the WMDC with Exchange Server 2003/OST files and it
works fine. You have to have the WMDC to do anything except simple file
sync - just like you have to have ActiveSync to do anything but simple sync
in Windows XP/2000.
