This article describes how to create multiple partnerships between a Handheld PC (H/PC) or a Palm-size PC (P/PC) and more than one desktop computer running Windows CE Services.

Before you establish multiple partnerships with your H/PC or P/PC, please read the following list of issues and suggestions.

When you use multiple partnerships:

•	Configure the desktop computers to use the same synchronization options.
•	ActiveSync does not remove items from your mobile device when it is configured to do so in the synchronization options.
•	You cannot have different schedules on the desktop computers with which you have a partnership.
•	You cannot enable Inbox synchronization.
•	You may get duplicate information if a remote Dial-Up Networking connection already synchronizes the desktop computers.
•	The desktop computer stores the configuration for its partnership.

To create multiple partnerships for an H/PC or P/PC, follow these steps:

1.	Create the initial partnership between a desktop computer and the H/PC or P/PC. NOTE: This first automatically created partnership is, by default, a single partnership. As a result, you are not prompted for the type of partnership you want. If you delete a partnership and then create a new one on your desktop computer, and you plan to use a second desktop computer, the first partnership you should create is a single partnership. Only on the second desktop computer should you choose a multiple partnership.
2.	Connect the H/PC or P/PC to a different desktop computer.
3.	When the New Mobile Device Detected dialog box is displayed, click Synchronize.
4.	When the Multiple Partnership Synchronization dialog box is displayed, click Multiple.
