I have a nokia E52 and in general i'm very happy with the Nokia Ovi Suite software.  But today it refused to synchronise my calendar with a "Sync Cancelled" error message, other items synchronised fine.  The solution was to reset the nokia profile/files on my computer.  Make sure to close Outlook, Ovi Suite, and end the "nokiamserver.exe" process.  Then open up explorer and browse to C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local and C:\Users\Tim\AppData\Roaming.  You could delete these files, but just in case i renamed the "Nokia" and "Nokia Ovi Suite" folders to "xNokia" and "xNokia Ovi Suite".  If anything goes wrong you can always rename them back to their original names.
Then open up Ovi Suite again and reconnect the phone.  It should synchronise fine then, there must be some bug with the calendar synchronisation that can corrupt the local database.

Ran into a permissions problem today using Excel interop code from within ASP.Net, which had worked fine from a windows forms application.
Thanks to 'Frosty' for his post which explains how to enable the appropriate permissions, reproducing it here in case the link ever goes down:

From command prompt / start->run... type dcomcnfg

Select Component Services->Computers->My Compter->DCOM Config

Scroll down and select Microsoft Excel Applicaton

Right click on Microsoft Excel Applicaton and select properties.

Select the Security tab

In Launch Permissions group box click Edit button.

Add the appropriate user for your particular situation. In my case, I
selected MyDomainName\Domain Users.

Make sure that Allow check box is checked for your appropriate user.

Click OK

In Access Permissions group box click Edit button.

Add the appropriate user for your particular situation. In my case, I
selected MyDomainName\Domain Users.

Make sure that Allow check box is checked for your appropriate user.

Click OK

Excel interop will now work via asp.net
