Introduction:
Microsoft Money for Pocket PC is a good add-in to have when you are
using MS Money. It helps you to stay updated and also makes
managing the finance a little more easier. But you might face
synchronization issues after installing Money for Pocket PC. For
example:
When you synchronize the line in ActiveSync
containing Microsoft Money is grayed and the status displays
"Attention required".
In the larger status console of
ActiveSync, it says:Microsoft Money
Data: attention required Resolve items...
When you click on "Resolve items...", you might get a dialog
saying:
Information Type Not Synchronized
Items of one or more information types cannot be synchronized.
Disconnect and reconnect your device.
To view all error messages and dialog boxes that require your
input, you must connect to this computer via infrared or
serial/USB cable.

Here are a few standard troubleshooting solutions you can
try to solve most of synchronization issues:

re-create the ActiveSync partnership.

If none of the solutions work, try the relatively
lengthy solution:

file on the Desktop and try to synchronize with Money for Pocket PC.
