Is there any way to set up a one way sync? For example, I have an Excel file on my desktop that I want to automatically have copied to my PDA anytime that it is updated. But, I do not want changes to the PDA version overwriting the desktop version.


(The reason for this is that several formulas in my Excel spreadsheet do not convert to Pocket Excel. Then, if the Pocket version synchs with my desktop version, the formulas are stripped out of the spreadsheet and I lose them.)

...looking at the Tools>Options>Rules settings in ActiveSync. It allows you to decide which file (PC or PDA) gets updated.

Basically, I want to copy an Excel spreadsheet to my PDA automatically, every time it is updated on my network. However, I do not want any changes made to the PDA version to be copied back. (Pocket Excel strips database links, etc. from spreadsheets) If I use the setup on Activesync's file syncronization, I can only turn off two way syncing, not one direction.
