Can (2)PDA's sync to the same computer and have diff. calendars?

[Guest]

Trying to sync (2) PDA's to Outlook on the same computer with different
calendars and keep calendars separate for each PDA. We have different job
requirements but still want to keep track of everything at home as well as at
our respective offices. Same issue with separating contacts. Using Office XP
2003 and Activesync 3.7.1.

You can have as many PDAs since to a desktop as you wish if you use a
separate mail profile for each.

Thanks for the info - now I need to figure out how to set up separate mail
accounts. I did figure out another way - which is to catagorize all
appointments and contacts and sync only those needed for our respective jobs,
the home computer would still have all of them and each work computer/PDA
would have those items each of us needs.

I didn't say separate mail accounts. I said separate mail profiles. Use
Control Panel's Mail applet for that.

As far as I know, ActiveSync doesn't pay attaention to categories, but if
you're happy, so am I.

Activesynch does pay attention to categories. It is on the settings option
for the calendar synchronization.

Why, so it does!. I'd never even considered limiting the synchronization
that way. Thanks. (Not that I'll use it, but I'll remember it.)
