I have an HP IPAQ 2210 which already syncs to my desktop PC (running XP) via USB cradle. I now have a new laptop running Vista Home Premium and I want to sync the IPAQ to the new laptop via Bluetooth, so that both calendars show the same events.

The sync to the desktop works fine using the USB cradle but I know I can't install ActiveSync upstairs on the laptop because it's not supported by Vista and has been replaced by Windows Mobile Device Centre.

I've paired the IPAQ and the laptop via Bluetooth and they show a good connection. However, when I open Windows Mobile Device Centre on the laptop it says that there is no device connected and no matter what I do, I can't get it to see the ipaq.

The help files on Mobile Device Centre give me duff instructions about opening ActiveSync and selecting "Menu" etc. but the version of ActiveSync on the 2210 doesn't have a Menu.

Any ideas on how I can use the IPAQ as a "middle man" and sync it to both computers?

Cheers!
