I'm getting tired of switching back and forth between Outlook for e-mails and a Clie for handheld, keeping essentially 2 sets of files. How do I get Outlook to run on the CLie or, alternatively, synch one with the other to avoid having to maintain 2 separate address books and calendars.

I thought the software that sony provided will sync with Microsoft Outlook, but I guess I could be wrong. Either way, the best software out there in my oopinion is called Desktop To Go, it syncs with outlook, even with an exchange server present. It's made by dataviz, the same people who make Documents to Go, and is available at http://www.dataviz.com

i think you are right. the software that comes with the sonly clie syncs with outlook. i just got mine a few months ago and had no clue about this stuff. but after playing around with it, i discovered the information that i entered in my address book on the PDA (sony clie) was also in my outlook program! too cool! now im going to just type everything in outlook address book and they will sync to my clie!! it just does it when i hot sync i suppose
