Synchronizing data

Windows CE Services with ActiveSync enables you to synchronize data between your HP Jornada and desktop PC, so the names you add to your Contacts database and the appointments you add to your Calendar while traveling can be automatically updated on your desktop PC when you return. You can also synchronize messages in your HPÊJornada Inbox with Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop PC. In addition, you can synchronize files in the Synchronized Files folder on your HPÊJornada with files in the My Documents folder (WindowsÊ95) or Personal folder (WindowsÊNT) on your desktop PC.

You can set ActiveSync either to synchronize automatically each time you connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC, or to synchronize continuously whenever the synchronized information changes, for as long as the computers are connected. You can also synchronize at any moment by choosing Synchronize Now from the Tools menu in the Mobile Devices window.
