I seem to be unable to complete Archiving successfully. I want to Archive
my Calendar file and, when attempting to do it, all seems to work correctly
(the Archive file is created etc) except that the data to be archived does
not move to the Archive file. I do have MSActiveSync installed in case that
is relevant. Any advice would be much appreciated. Rob
 
Archiving works on the modified date of items. If you have Activesync
installed and it touches the items that you wanted archived, the modified
date is changed to the date of the last access by activesync so it will not
be archived.

Try shortening the time period that activesync uses for past items.

Many thanks indeed for giving me the insight as to how ActiveSync works. I
have done a trial and now think I understand. Hence, if I understand you
correctly, when ActiveSync is installed, it is only possible to Archive all
historic data from the day you last synchronised to your PDA - ie. today!
In other words it is not possible to Archive data from say 1 month ago. I
find this surprising but I am always being surprised with software issues.
Thanks again Rob
