I'm surprised no one has answered already. I haven't actually tried this, but I see no reason why it should be a problem. I have connected one device to WM 7 as a guest, and to two other versions of Windows as a partner. I do recommend caution about how you set up each partnership. Make sure the settings to override or merge data are what _you_ want, so you don't make unwanted changes in your data. In fact, I recommend making a backup of your "desktop" Outlook data before you start; at least for pre-7 Windows, look for Outlook.pst in C:\Documents and Settings\yourid\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Note that "Local Settings" is probably hidden, so you'll need to do some extra work. I use a DOS box (cmd). > >TIA, > >BL > ----------------------------------------- To reply to me, remove the underscores (_) from my email address (and please indicate which newsgroup and message).

Just an FYI, don't mess with the .pst while Outlook is open, it can be unpleasant. Yea, just copying it shouldn't hurt. Famous last words. You can always use the export function in Outlook to export everything to a backup ..pst as well. <r_z_aret(a)pen_fact.com> wrote in message news:kh45i557ltk91rlbc2osnn3k18fs4ng9qe(a)4ax.com... > On Thu, 10 Dec 2009 19:53:58 -0500, "MedRxman" <medrxman(a)yahoo.com> > wrote: > >>Can I have a partnership with my WM5 device with one PC using ActiveSync >>4.5 >>and >>another PC with Windows 7 ? > > I'm surprised no one has answered already.
