Synchronising contacts

[Quicksilver71]

I use a microsoft exchange server for my work emails, contacts and calendars. I have this set up correctly to synchronise with my iPad as well as my htc desire.

Mail and calendars work perfectly, but there seems to be an issue with contacts. If I create a new contact in outlook, it transfers almost straight away onto my iPad. But if I create a contact on the iPad, it won't show up on my outlook or my phone. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Make sure in settings you've got the correct account set for the default for contacts.

Yes, I have checked that and it is set to 'work' which is what I call the exchange account. The only other option available is 'on my ipad'

Anyone got any ideas please?

I have not fully explored the options with contacts sync, but have noticed there are several regarding the frequency of which the iPad syncs data with the exchange server. Is it possible you have yours set for "manual" sync? Or "never"?
