I have an ipaq 2215 that I sync with my work PC. I use Active Sync to sync
with MS Outlook for contacts and tasks, and I use Cadenza to sync with Lotus
Notes for the calendar.

As part of an upgrade program, I received a new PC and my old PC was taken
away. I now want to partner my ipaq with the new PC. What is the best way
to do this? I was thinking of deleting the contacts, tasks and calendar
files on my ipaq, then load ActiveSync and Cadenza on my new PC and create a
new partnership. Is this the best way to go? Any advice would be most
welcome. In advance, thanks.

As a follow-up, I successfully created a partnership with my new PC.

I did not delete any of the files beforehand (as I was thinking of doing).
Instead, after I loaded Activesync on the new PC, I connected my Ipaq and
went through the synchronization process. It recognized (obviously) that I
was creating a new partnership and I was prompted for info. The key
question was did I want to just use just the info on my PC, just the info on
my Ipaq, or combine both. Because I had loaded my outlook files on my new
PC, I selected just the info on my PC. Everything worked fine.

I then loaded Cadenza (mNotes) and synced again. Cadenza is a very nice
software and always seems to intuitively know what to do. It did so in this
case and picked up the synchronization process right where it left off with
my old PC.

I did notice the start of the synchronization process seems to take a little
bit longer time than it did with my old PC but at this time I'm not
complaining -- it works.

For future reference, you can greatly reduce the risk of corrupting
Outlook's data, but backing it up first. And that is rather easy
because Outlook stores info for each account in a ".pst" file. By
default, it is outlook.pst in the user's settings directory. You may
need to shut down Outlook to gain access, but you can make a copy any
way you find convenient.
