Sync Project Contact Folder with Pocket PC

[Alchemist]

I am sold on the process of tracking my projects in a separate contact folder. What I need is a way to sync that separate folder with my pocket PC so that the information is portable. Has anyone figured out a way to do that? I don't want to put my projects in my main contact folder, since that contains almost 2000 contacts -- the projects would just get lost in all of that.

Thanks for your help.

If you're using Outlook to manage these contacts I would suggest not using a separate Contacts folder but rather using Categories and views to keep them separate but still "together" so that they can be readily sync'd but still easily separated.

Thanks for the push. It made me reevaluate the separate contacts folder for Projects. Once I figured out how to use the Project Form inside the main contacts folder, I created a custom view that looks at only those contacts with "Projects" as a category. I purchased Informant 2005 for the Pocket PC and can just look at my Contacts that contain Projects. So, I now have a portable GTD system with my pocket PC.
