Re: Critical Need

Dale - a somewhat different approach that is working fairly well for me.

I have the new Atrix 4G fm AT&T/Motorola - using Outlook on my Laptop and 'DejaOffice' on the Atrix.  I Sync via USB using CompanionLink.

This combo works very dependably, which is a big Plus for me.  Doesn't have all the extras that DateBk or Pimlical have, but it works well for an Outlook user.

Running Windows 7 64 Bit and Outlook 2010.
