There are reports that some people have got limited functionality out of
Pocket Money under WM5 but it seems to be rather hit and miss - no-one's ever
managed to say HOW they got it to work, it just did. I think the deletions
not working are one of the effects previously reported.

It's now well documented that MS certainly don't intend to make a PPC
compatible 2007 version, nor do they intend to update any earlier version to
work fully with WM5. People will just have to make their own minds up how
important they think this is in their purchasing decision.

SPB Finance or Inesoft Cash Organiser are now the only PPC software options
(though neither support 2007 yet) with Ultrasoft Money offering the same
facilities for PalmOS (though, again, no 2007 yet).

Well either my computer is really stupid or I'm just smart, it has
been syncing with Money ever since I upgraded.

I found the reason it stopped, the Money file itself was slightly
corrupted, after several repairs, several renames and a lot of
cursing, it has started syncing again.
It even appears on the Today screen like its supposed to.

Something interesting, it has never allowed me to delete from the PPC,
only from the program, I can make transactions but I can't delete
them, all other functions work.

If Microsoft never intends to make 2007 compatible with WM 5.0 in the
PPC then people will be reluctant to upgrade, instead going with
something that does support it.

Right now I am considering 2006 but if you are saying it will not
work... well who knows.

I don't believe any version of Money will sync with WM 5.0

I am having the same problem, and it is all of a sudden.

I have MS Money 2005, and I have a Dell Axim X51v. Syncing was
working fine for weeks and weeks. Then I upgraded to the later ROM
of the Axim, syncing still works... then all of a sudden when I had
made no changes Money Syncing suddenly stops working.

Money is installed in the Main memory (default location), I have run
several repairs on my money file and I have tried re-naming the money
file so it will prompt me.

The Settings button is greyed out and I have removed and re-installed
Money on both the Pocket PC and the Desktop.

I even tried getting the 2007 trial until I saw the articles that said
Pocket PC is no longer supported, I would love for someone to explain
the wisdom of that choice to me.

Right now I am considering upgrading to 2006 which I know is
supported. It just seems a waste to upgrade so late in the year when
a new one is coming out.

Since I have Windows Mobile 5.0 does anyone know if there is a
compatible Finance program or am I just going to have to switch
completely.

That and there is one function that Quicken had at one time that Money
never did, the ability to scan high-dollar reciepts and attach it to
transactions.

Any suggestions? Anyone?

Coming in this late (sorry) but this problem usually means corruption in
your datafile on the desktop. Try syncing with a different datafile (e.g.,
sample.mny)? What happens?

There seem to have been a few messages on here regarding sync problems -
has anyone actually got Money 2005 to sync?! I have tried everything with
mine and am getting really frustrated.

Latest attempt - have just hard reset to wipe my IPAQ *completely* clean
and uninstalled Money 2005 from my PC. I reinstalled Money on the PC, set
up a very basic data file (one bank account) and reinstalled pocket money
on my IPAQ. Everything was installed in the default locations when
prompted. Guess what? Still doesn't sync!!!

All I get is an "Attention Required" message in the ActiveSync window.
Can anyone help me? Surely this is some sort of bug - with the exception
of reinstalling Windows on my PC I don't know what else to try.

Setup is Windows ME, ActiveSync 3.7.1, Money 2005, IPAQ2210.

Try some of these - first take a safe copy of your money file....

a) run a repair on the Money file.
b) Change the name of the Money file to get ActiveSync to prompt you for it
c) Disconnect the PPC, wipe out Money databases on it and then reconnect and
try again

Thank you for the advice. I appreciate the time you took. Unfortunately,
the program was already installed in the default location (the "main memory"
as it's called by ActiveSync). I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program
several times without any change in the result. Guess I'll just have to keep
at it. Thank you again.

Where is it installed.
Make sure money is installed in the default location. If you install it
anywhere else (SD card, CF Card, IpaqFileStore etc) it will not sync and the
options (settings, sync check box will gray out) I spent several hours
working on this last night. Hope it helps.

Good Luck.

If the "Settings..." option is not there then something definetly is wrong.
Are you sure you downloaded the 2005 version of Pocket Money? If so, try
de-installing and try again.

I recently downloaded Pocket Money 2005 in order to sync my Money 2005 (run
on an IBM laptop)with my Pocket PC, but so far I have not found a way to make
it work. My situation is as follows:

- I am using Active Sync version 3.7 and my Pocket PC functions on Windows
Pocket PC 2003 (meeting the stated requirements).
- Pocket Money successfully installs on the Pocket PC itself, but none of
the accounts or information actually appear on the device.
- I have checked off the "Microsoft Money Data" option in Active Sync.
- The settings menu is NOT available for "Microsoft Money Data" so I cannot
change any related options.
- When I do attempt to sync the device with my laptop it only results in
unresolved items.
- When I attempt to resolve the items I recieve a message that says "One or
more information types cannot be synchronized. Disconnect and reconnect your
device."
- When I disconnect and then reconnect my device, I receive the same message.

If anyone has any thoughts on how I can fix this problem I would very much
appreciate your advice. Thank you.
