Unable to view new home screen

just guessing since i never tried using a hs without the home in the name, make sure the file is called name_of_choice.home.xml, make sure it says home in between name and extension..

yes thats what i meant
if you remove an end tag it wont show up
but if say you dont have a plugin CLSID correct or something else it will still show up in IE
probably should have been clearer on that one

Thanks guys for the suggestions. But I have tried it with the extension .home.xml and doesn't matter. Also, I have verified (about 5-6 times ) that I haven't changed anything except the name of the home screen and "ActiveSync" to "2Js". Absolutely nothing else has changed. Does anyone else have an add'l home screen xml I could use to see if it is my file, my phone, or my process to get it uploaded?

Thanks,
Ryan

you can download home screens all over the place, get one out of the homescreen collection and try that..

So, should i need to change more than the title to something unique and "ActiveSync" to "2Js"?

heres a crazy thought
rather than having
<!-- --> wrapped around certain codes just erase them
maybe thats giving you the error since you have that inside of one of the plugins...
make sense?

for example rather than

<!--Calendar appointment plugin-->
<plugin clsid="{865A354A-4A96-4687-B001-C155DC0DBE76}" name="calendar" height="23">
<background>
<format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>
</background>
<label h="22">
<text>
<time/> <subject/> <location/>
</text>
</label>
<!-- <label h="22" y="23">
<text>
<time/>
<location/>
</text>
</label>
-->
</plugin>

just use this

<!--Calendar appointment plugin-->
<plugin clsid="{865A354A-4A96-4687-B001-C155DC0DBE76}" name="calendar" height="23">
<background>
<format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>
</background>
<label h="22">
<text>
<time/> <subject/> <location/>
</text>
</label>
</plugin>

All of that code already exists in the one i copied it from, so that isn't the issue....thanks though. I personally don't think it is the xml since i copied and made so few changes.

Yep there were in the installed home xml files. I'll give it a try, but they are just xml comments, so they are ignored.
