Synching Problem with Contact Notes

[Jake]

When synching between my Mako and WindowsME PsiWin 2.3.3, I have a contact that won't update itself on either the Mako or Outlook 2000 with regard to its Notes section.

New contacts will synch back and forth, but this contact will not synch additions to its "Notes," though changes to phone numbers, etc. are synched without problem.

Changes to Agenda synch fine as well.

Is there a workaround? Or should I just copy-n-paste the Note's section when updating?

Thanks,
Jake

Jake,

Sorry for the late reply. If this is only one contact that's giving you the problem, my guess is that there's a a hidden control character in the notes filed that's causing the sync to fail. I would cut the contents of the note in Outlook, paste it into Windows Notepad, and then paste the contents back into Outlook. Delete the note in Contacts and then sync. This should cure the problem.

Hi, Jim,

Your solution was exactly right. I followed it, and then got changes in Notes to sync on both sides, Psion and Outlook 2000, regardless of which side I was entering the text.

Many thanks,
Jake
