Hello all,

Searched this group & found similar discussion but I still need a
little more help.

I currently am using a iPaq h5450 but I just acquired, what I believe
is, an iPaq hw6500-series.

I understand I will have to create its (the hw6500) own ActiveSync
partnership & I will have to reload all the programs that I currently
use on the h5450.

What would be the easiest way to move the data files from one to the
other? IR while going directory by directory with Explorer? Moving
files to an SD card?

How should handle Appointments, Contacts, Tasks, etc? What is the
most painless way to transfer that data?

When I'm done moving everything I will be handing the h5450 to my
daughter; should I do a hard reset then establish another relationship
with ActiveSync so my current data on the PC isn't accidently loaded
back to the h5450?

Any other ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks for all the help.

Hello,

If you are moving data files around you could just move them to a SD card.
Another option would be to use the File feature in ActiveSync. If the files
are in your My Documents directory on the old device, they will be
synchronized to your desktop via ActiveSync. Then you can copy them over to
the new device by using the same method (Drag-and-drop from the old device's
folder on your desktop to the new one).

If you are synchronizing Calendar, Contacts and Tasks with ActiveSync now
then when you synchronize your new device they will be copied over.

Finally, yes, do a hard reset and re-establish a new partnership in
ActiveSync. I would go a step further and delete the old partnership in AS
as well.

Hope this helps,
