Annoying 'Allow Access to Outlook' pop-up during sync

I use a handspring Visor and after we upgraded to Outlook 2003 I would get this annoying pop-up every time I tried to sync my device using Chapura's Pocket Mirror that would ask me if I wanted to allow my palm device to access my Outlook calendar, contacts, datebook and notes.

Just last week I found a fix to this, which involved installing Chapura's newest update (3.1.6) for Pocket Mirror. I also noticed that my palm syncs much faster than before.

The free standard upgrade to version 3.1.6 is available at http://www.chapura.com/free_downloads.php and requires that you have Pocket Mirror 2.0 or higher installed already. Pocket Mirror comes bundled with many Palm devices, but if you did not receive this software and need to sync with Outlook it is indispensable.

We use an Exchange server and I have to say that Outlook 2003 blows the socks off of the Palm desktop application. I wasn't all that happy with the previous version of Outlook, because I could not see my Palm notes organized by categories, but that feature is now available with the 2003 version of Outlook!
