Resolving synchronization conflicts

If the same item (for example, an appointment or a task) has been modified on both the desktop PC and on the HP Jornada, ActiveSync will indicate that a Synchronization conflict has occurred. When the Resolve Conflicts dialog box appears, you can either resolve the conflict by selecting one of the items to replace or you can ignore the conflict, leaving the data on both computers unchanged.

You can resolve each conflict manually, at the time of synchronization, or you can resolve conflicts automatically by setting a default option for conflict resolution.

To set a default option for conflict resolution

1.Open the Mobile Devices window, and then select your HP Jornada icon.

2.On the Tools menu, click ActiveSync Options.

3.On the General tab of the ActiveSync Options dialog box, click Advanced.

4.Select the option you prefer to resolve conflicts.
