It just depends o. What you have selected to sync when setting the exchange account up on your iPad. You can check this at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> then select your account from the list. You can then see what is switched on and off.
kwitel said:I turned Contacts off then on and that fixed it.
What about Notes? Is there no option to sync that?
I'm not sure what Notes is. Do you mean Tasks, as in the checked to do list?
Notes syncing is not supported by the underlying ActiveSync protocol that exchange accounts use.
To sync notes from outlook you have to do it via iTunes.
