Microsoft Windows CE Services 3
Microsoft Windows CE Services with ActiveSync enables you to synchronize the
information on your desktop computer with the information on your PenCentra 200.
Synchronization is the process of comparing the data on your PenCentra 200 with
your desktop computer and updating both computers with the most recent
information. For example:
• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your PenCentra 200 with
your choice of Microsoft Outlook (Inbox synchronization with Outlook Express is
not currently supported), Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your
desktop computer.
• Synchronize Word and Excel documents, Access and other ODBC databases and
tables, and InkWriter documents between your PenCentra 200 and desktop
computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.
• With Windows CE Services, you can also:
• Back up and restore your PenCentra 200 data.
• Add and remove programs on your PenCentra 200.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your PenCentra 200 and your
desktop computer.
