Pocket PC transfer

[Greg Newell]

Terry and everyone,
         First, thanks for your help. Second, I 
think I got it worked out. My wife just suggested 
I copy the file from the "mobile device" listing 
in Windows Explorer to a place on the PC hard 
drive and have Excel open it from there which it 
did just fine. I was under the assumption that 
once you went through the sync process and tried 
to access the file from within My Computer or 
Windows Explorer that it would open with the 
native Office XP software from the PC. Not so 
apparently. Ever want to just pitch all this crap 
out the window and go back to paper and pencil? 
Anyway my string winders sheet is successfully 
created and I'll be sending it out in the morning. Thanks again everyone!

best,
Greg
