Stop syncing of Contacts Folder

I'm on a corporate Outlook server that has been configured to sync with
blackberries. I'd like to create a folder of contacts that do not sync with
the blackberry. Is there a way to tag/filter/catagorize contacts so that
some are not synced?

does the blackberry only sync with the main contacts folder? if so create a
second folder and move contacts to it.

I tried that. I created another contacts folder and it still syncs.

That's unusual, but synching is completely up to the software that performs
the sync. Read the docs for it and see if it has the ability to exclude a
folder.

i have a similar need. i have about 1400 contacts in my outlook and would
like to tag some non current and not have them sych to my phone to save
resources on the phone. I use the latest version of active synch. i have
looked but have not found a way to add sycnching options other than
selecting/deselecting the default folders? any ideas? is it advisable to
create a folder in outlook and move ny non current contacts there so
activesynch wont look for them

Also not an Outlook issue. Syncing never is.

The best way, in my opinion, to handle this with ActiveSync is to move the
contacts you don't wish to sync to another contact folder, since ActiveSync
will sync only the default folders.
