When I am Offsite where these is no Wireless or ActiveSync my ActiveSync program decided to open after about 5 minutes then I get this message that reads "Cannot Connect"

Well of course you can't your not connected to anything.

Is there any reason that the ActiveSync program would be opening for no reason?
 
Which PocketPC are you using and which OS is it running?

I'm using Dell AXIM 3Xi with Windows Mobile 2003 and ActiveSync 3.7.1
 
Is the "Cannot Connect" in a little window at the top of the screen? If so, it is like the ppc is trying to access the internet, so it is looking for activesync or wireless connection as a passthrough to the internet. Are you or is a program that is installed trying to access the internet? Some programs require an internet connection to update themselves ever so often. You might list the programs installed anf I can see if one of them requires the net for updates.

Otherwise, I do not have a reason yet to as why you are getting the message. I am looking though.
