Hi
apologies if this is in the wrong forum, cant seem to find one that fits..
Right here's the background so you understand
My new company has just given me a nice smart samsung omnipro PDA.
This has been setup to sync with the works exchange server via GPRS and download my mail, contacts etc etc
However, i am still with my old company for the next few days and on their exchange server i have stored in my contacts about 10 years worth of phone numbers of pretty much everyone i have needed to speak to.
Now im not leavng the old company as such the 2 of them have partnered up so i need the phone numbers of about 90% of them.
I access my exchange for the old company through Outlook using a secure HTTPS connection, this means that i can see and edit my contacts, mail etc etc.
i can only access my new company via an web based version of outlook
Ok here's the problem
having setup a partnership with my laptop via active sync it sees my outlook account and the PDA shows both the laptop account and the work account.
But if i sync to outlook on my laptop and thus get my old works contacts then when i try to change it to also then get my new company contacts via the GPRS connection, activesync deletes the existing contacts.
In other words, i cant sync both sets of contacts, as doing one deletes the other..
I am sure there is an answer to this but i cant seem to find it.
