there's no reason i would take it the wrong way but thanks for the preface. i agree that it's not a big deal...that is unless it's a power thief like it used to be on previous ppc devices. i didn't know it was related to the direct push but if it is one would think if direct push is not active then activesync shouldn't be either. however, we all know ppc devices are far from perfect.
anyways, if this is the only bug i come across, i'll be ecstatic!
