I recently updated my from Outlook 2002 to 2003. Now I only can sync when
Outlook is not active.

Activesync activates Outlook an it still keeps running as proces. When I
start Outlook some buttons are greyed out. I have to kill Outlook proces
with the taskmanager and restart outlook to activate the buttons.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled both Outlook and Activesync but the problem
is stil there.

First I thought this problem has a relationship with activesync. But when
I take out my PDA from the craddle (activesync is inactive) I discovered
that after a period of time the buttons are greyed out. I find this
article in the KB of Microsoft

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;827310&spid=2520&sid=208

where they discribe that Outlook 2003 has a memory problem.

When there is no PDA in the craddle the memory-usage is slowly increasing
and after a period of time Outlook locks.
When I connect the PDA the memory usage increasing directly to the maximum
and outlook is locked.
