I am using a Revo+ with PsiWin and Outlook. When I work in Outlook "offline", PsiWin synchronizes with Outlook's offline data. When I work in Outlook "online" it synchronizes with the online data. This would be fine in most cases except that I work in a remote office from my exchange server and when I work "online" it takes a very long time to sychronize my Agenda and Contacts (~6-7 mins) since it goes over my network connection to gather/write the data.

Does anyone know how to force a syncronization with my offline Outlook file regardless of how I am connected to Outlook? Does anyone else have another suggestion?

Thanks for your feedback.

You can't force PsiWin to sync in Outlook's offline mode as long as you're connected to the Exchange server. PsiWin detects that you're connected and Outlook will only reveal the Exchange data to PsiWin. The only thing I can think of is to snyc the OUtlook folders in Exchange then go to the offline mode and sync to your Psion to the OST file. Depending on how you're connecting (dialup, DSL, etc.), this may or may not be any faster than just having PsiWin sync directly to the Exchange server. You'll have to experiment to see what gives you the best result.
