I can not get anyone at Sony support to help me on this issue:

The Connection to the Sync Station database (hermes.mdb) did not install correctly. Pleas create an ODBC connection to the database manually.

I have seen this posted with no response before. Has anyone seen this and how did you fix it? The PDA is not much use to me if I can not link to Outlook.

Here is what I have:
PC--laptop
Win 2000 Pro
Office XP
Outlook 2002

I have turned off my virus sw and there aren't any firewalls.

HELP!!

Install pc suite once again and try to attach sync station directly to a usb port (this problem can occur if you connect sync station through a usb hub)

Do you mean in the Device Manager? I show the SEMC DSS-20 SyncStation listed under both "Ports" and "Universal Serial Bus Controllers"


If not, where do I change this?

What i mean is that you connect the sync station to a free usb port.This port is fit on the pc or you use a usb hub?
If yes then attach your sync station directly on the pc and give it a try.

Try uninstalling PCSuite.
Remove the station from the port.
Install PCSuite again.
Only then, connect the station.

I removed the SW and then unpluged the sync from the UBS and reinstalled the SW. Got the same error as before.

Is there any hope on this?????

I will show you the way:)
Start-settings-control panel-Administrative tools-data sources (ODBC)
Click in the "system DSN" tab
Click on "Add"
Highlight "Microsoft Access Driver (*MDB) press finish
In the resulting window Data Source Name type "Hermes"
Then click on "select", in the box entitled "database name"
Copy and paste this in:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Ericsson\Sync Station\hermes.mdb
Click Ok, then Ok to get out

You can check all is well by going: Start-settings-control panel-Administrative tools-data sources (ODBC)
Click in the "system DSN" tab,Click in the "system DSN" tab-you should see the Hermes input in that box


You life should now be great
