I purchased outlook 2007 yesterday to sync with my phone. I have all of the
software installed and I completed a synchronization in hopes of transferring
all of my contacts and schedule that was on my phone over to my computer.
However, when I synchronized, all of my contacts and calendar that I had
saved on my phone was erased. Luckily, I still have my old phone to retrieve
my contacts. But, this leads me to wonder if it synced right or do I
misunderstand how synchronization works? I've always thought that syncing
exchanged information from both devices, not just transfer information from
one to the other. Am I misunderstanding how it works or did it sync
incorrectly?

Thanks,

Your question relates to settings for the synch software you are using, not
Outlook. Outlook does not synch. You may be able to get help here from
someone familiar with your synch software but you forgot to tell us what you
are using.

I'm sorry that I forgot that. I have a Moto Q 9c with the Windows Mobile
software. I am using ActiveSync to sync with my Windows XP desktop computer
at home. If there is any other information needed, just let me know.

Thanks again,

microsoft.public.pocketpc.activesync would be an appropriate newsgroup.

When you created your partnership, you should have been able to specify
which device (the phone or the PC) was the source of the date.
