How to Hotsync Outlook 2007 with Treo

How to Sync Palm Treo with Outlook 2007 I took the plunge, downloaded the Office 2007 (Beta), and started playing with it. One problem (so far), while you can keep old Office programs on your computer (in case the new ones don't work), the Outlook 2007 Beta required deletion of Outlook 2003. So, now my Treo won't sync anymore. Palmsource's Hotsync Manager 6.01 is not comaptible with Outlook 2007. I do not want to buy the Chapura program. Has anyone discovered a solution? In the meantime, word to the wise, if you rely on your Treo ... don't upgrade to the MS Office Beta (yet).

Word to the wise indeed. The Outlook 2007 Beta (I've got 12.0.3417.1005) is pretty lousy. It crashes on exit and doesn't render many HTML emails correctly. Even a task as simple as pasting an image into the body of an email generates a strange error making the email un-sendable. (The work around is to insert an image from a file on your computer.)

Otherwise it seems to be identical to 2003 - except more bloated and slower.

Sorry I can't help with your Treo problems, Carsey... I just wanted to vent.
