Cannot synchronize with PPC device

Hello,

I went through the Mobilink manual to learn how to synchronize PocketPC
devices with Mobilink. The manual talks about a provider for activesync.
I installed this provider according to the instructions, but all I get
when I reboot and return into the activesync window, from options, is a
line that says "database app" with no way of selecting it - no check
box. As a result, I cannot synchronize.
I am using the latest SAS, and trying to synchronize the PPC CustDB
sample application with a Dell Axim 5.

Please indicate what might be happening.
Thanks!

Philippe

Just to add a note - I have tried now with a different computer and I am
getting the exact same result. There is no "Mobilink" item under options
in Activesync, just a non-selectable item that says "Database App". When
you click on it the settings button is greyed out.

To "register" an application (either dbmlsync or UltraLite) you must use
dbasinst.exe.
