To test this input a new "test" contact from the PC and see if this syncs, and also one from the device, and see if that syncs. If they do, then you have no problems with com ports or activesync itself. The problem lies within the contacts that won't sync. It's just a question of finding out where. The notes file, and the photos are the most common causes.
Some people have just recreated the 'non syncing' contacts in order to get that first full sync.

hello Marisa
I just did as you say and created a new contacton the pc and one on the device (no Notes on either) and they have both appeared on PC and device.
When I tried to just make a change to one with notes it would not accept that. It seems that I can only get it to accept a change where I remove the notes altogether.
I agree that in order to get it done now, changing the nonsyncing contacts and appointments is a "workaround" but for the future where does that leave me?
I would never be sure if my new contacts and or appointments were on the device without having to check each one as I did them and I would have to manually input notes on the device.
Please do not get me wrong. having worked almost solidly on this for 27 hours, I REALLY appreciate the fact that you have now narrowed it down for me.
I just talked to my friend as I knew she had an orange SPV, she uses windows mobile 2003 and activesync 3.8? and she tells me it has always worked like a dream (What a friend eh! she could have fibbed a bit)
Thanks again
