Microsoft Office 2010 + Desktop Manager

Only thing I can suggest is to format your computer and re-install everything from scratch.

OK...finally got this to work. Installed Outlook 2007, then attempted to set up sync. Same error message with 2 way syc, so I selected 1 way sync which was accepted, then changed back to 2 way. I then repaired my Outlook 2010 beta installation and was able to sync with DM 5.0.18. Life is good again Thank you DataCentre

New DM update available 5.0.1.28. Not sure if it resolves this issue without the work around or not.

I am running Windows XP, and the 2010 beta, and this really sucks. I don't have a copy of Office 2007 to just load up.

Is there any good FREE program to sync the contacts without using ms office at all??

Thanks!

If you don´t have Outlook 2007 to then upgrade to 2010, try installing Outlook 2003, install DM, configure synch, and then do the upgrade from 2003 to 2010 beta. It did work for me!

Only thing, be sure to configure properly every detail and aspect of the synch you wish between Outlook 2003 and DM, before doing the upgrade to 2010. Once you upgrade to 2010 you will be able to synch, but you will NOT be able to modify any synch options!!

I hope this helps you!
Cheers

Thanks scouts for the work around. Is it syncing 2 ways for calendar and contacts for you? I do have a 2003 office copy on CD. I may have to reinstall but I may just get a new HP laptop for $300 pretty soon. They are cheap enough and I would like to update to windows 7. Great work on discovering a fix.

Cheers,

Adam

When I was trying the sync the other night, I was trying to uncheck the address book, and it did uncheck. Then none of the other ones would hold a check. As others have said, it seems like an outlook.pst personal folder mapping problem, because 2010 maps your .pst to you@emailaddress.pst and blackberry DM is probably looking for outlook.pst.

When I went in to change the folder location, it was greyed out. and when I went through the wizard to setup any of them, calendar, tasks, etc. it would go throught the wizard, then give me the message store error.

It also was giving me an address book error when I was trying to map the location to the file location. So maybe the problem is the address book and not the personal folder.

As one of the other folks said, since this is beta, blackberry is probably not supported, like in 2007 office beta, so we may have to wait, or use one of the workarounds like installing 2003 or 2007, installing DM, configuring, then installing 2010 office.

I am thinking of just using the google sync to sync my calendar and contacts.

Has anyone else used the google sync without any problems??

Glad to be of help! If you configure DM and Outlook 2003 to do a 2 way synch, when upgrading to Outlook 2010 DM will use the synch settings you have previosuly configured with Outlook 2003.

In my case I can now synch 2 ways without any problem, that is Calendar, Contacts, Memo and Tasks.

I don't think any of these solutions applies to people with Windows 7 64 bit with Office 2010 Pro Beta 64 bit or do they?

Yes they do apply to Windows 7 x64. The only difference is that you need to first install Office 2007 (Outlook really) x64 and not de 32 bit version.

OBviously the Office 2010 also has to be the 64 bit version.

Hope it works!

What? There is no Office 2007 64 bit and I had Office 2007 32 bit installed first but was forced to uninstall it before I can install Office 2010 Pro 64 bit.

Unless you saying I install Office 2007 with a modification to install only Outlook 2007 32 bit then install Office 2010 32 bit instead of the Office 2010 64 bit beta.

Which by the way destroys my ability to utilize 64 bit Application and Onenote 2010 Virtual printer which was the whole reason why I went to 2010 or I would of stuck with office 2007.

Could please elaborate because I am missing something in your explanation?

I'm in the same boat as you. Office 2007 only came in 32 bit flavor.

And to upgrade to Office 2010 64bit you have to do a full install which uninstalls Office 2007.

Only Office 2007-Office 2010 32 bit allows an upgrade without uninstalling.

Ok, sorry if I was unclear about my explanation. Office 2007 only comes as a 32 bit software. This version can be installed in any Windows x64 system.

If you upgrade to Office 2010 beta yu MUST install the 32 bit version, as the 64 bit version will completely uninstall Outlook 2007 (32 bit version), taking with it whatever synch configuration you established with DM.

The only work around is to use the 32 bit Office 2010 beta version. There is no way around if you install Office 2010 64 bit beta version, sorry for that!

You will not notice performance difference between the 32 and 64 bit Office 2010 version...not yet.. In theory the final version should provide a difference, but at this Beta stage the 32 bit version even performs slightly better than de 64 bit version.

It is the 64 bit OS that makes a difference ig you have more than 3 Gb ram in your PC.

Use the latest version of DM, that is 5.0.1.28 to ensure compatibility with Windos 7.

I hope this clarifies my previous explanation.
