I am trying to get my Axim to sync with my computer at work (computer A) and my computer at home (computer B). If I get it to sync with computer A, it won't let me sync with computer B, telling me that I need to set up a new partnership. When I try, it says that the name is already in use and I have to pick a new one. If I do, it won't let me sync with the other machine. Help!

Greeitngs;

Sound like your having some problems, First off I would delete all partnerships you have on either computer. You will have the option to save the related "my documents" file if you want. I would then proceed to set up a partnership on the first computer and make sure you check that you are syncing with two computers and then do the same with the second computer. You should be able to use the same name for both.
Try that and let me know if it worked.
A point of interest: you will not be able to sync ANY email from either computer with it set up for two.

Thanks, Scott. How do I delete a partnership? I thought I had to delete the docs file, also.

If you sync your e-mail using a program like Lookout will you have the same problems syncing e-mail?

Greetings;

To delete a partnership open activesync and select file then click on delete partnership.
I haven't tried to use another PIM to sync email, but the restrictions are activesync based so there might be a workaround.
