32 HP Jornada 700 Series Handheld PC
Setting up Microsoft ActiveSync and establishing
a partnership
Microsoft ActiveSync enables you to synchronize the information
on your desktop PC with the information on your HP Jornada.
Synchronization compares the data on your device with your
desktop PC and updates both computers with the most recent
information. For example:
• Keep your Pocket Outlook data current by synchronizing your
HP Jornada with Microsoft Outlook 2000 on your desktop PC.
(Inbox synchronization with Outlook Express is not
supported.)
• Synchronize Word and Excel documents, Access and other
ODBC databases and tables, Mobile channels, and InkWriter
documents between your HP Jornada and desktop PC. Your
files are automatically converted to the correct format.
With Microsoft ActiveSync, you can:
• Back up and restore your HP Jornada data
• Add and remove programs on your HP Jornada
• Move and copy files (rather than synchronize files)
between your device and your desktop PC
Microsoft ActiveSync includes several components. The Microsoft
ActiveSync Setup Wizard detects which software components are
needed and prompts you to set up only the necessary components.
For instance:
• If you do not already have Outlook installed, the Setup Wizard
will attempt to install Outlook 2000.
• The Setup Wizard can add Inbox extensions to enable
you to transfer messages to your desktop mail client—
Exchange or Outlook.
