Synchronize Outlook with Palm Pilot in Office 12 Beta?

May 31, 2006 1:01 PM

Anyone else using Office 12 Beta? I've recently installed it on my laptop, and I can't find a way to synchronize Outlook 12 with my palm pilot. Anyone know how to do this?

You may be having a problem with higher default security in Office 12. I had a few plugins broken until I disabled the "Apply macro security settings to installed plugins" checkbox, as described below.

I found this option under Tools -> Trust Centre -> Add-ins. The "Apply macro security settings to installed plugins" checkbox is at the bottom of the page.

Check to see if your Palm Desktop is listed under the "Inactive Application Addins" on that same page. If it is, change the security and exit and restart Outlook. You may have to re-enable your addins manually afterwards, by pressing "Go" at the bottom of the page and checking the box for the addin you want on the subsequent dialogue box.

To be clear, I don't actually use a Palm, but I do have a pocket PC and some other plugging that needed access to my Outlook data that were broken by this, so this is a suggestion, not a tested solution.

PocketMirror Professional XT supports Outlook 2007. It's what I used when I was using my Treo 650.

The default Palm HotSync conduits don't support Outlook 2007.
