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
HPJornada Inbox with Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft
Exchange on your desktop PC. In addition, you can
synchronize files in the Synchronized Files folder on your
HPJornada with files in the My Documents folder
(Windows95) or Personal folder (WindowsNT) 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.
