My 'sync' problems are still ongoing. For example, in my nice giant 24inch screen here, I'm looking at the editor, where it tells me several keywords are inactive with minimum bids of 1.00 (and has told me that for the past 24 hours) whereas in another window, I have the console opened up in a web browser, and there I see that the same keywords are active with a minimum bid of $.40. Should I assume that, because we can't get current day stats in the editor, we're not getting current day keyword status as well?

netmeg, I'll reply to this again tomorrow when I have more time (since I getting the Advertiser Feedback Report ready-to-go right now).

However, a couple of questions:

* Is this a new occurance for you - or has it happened in the past?

* How 'old' is the downloaded 'offline' version of the account that you are comparing to your 'online' version?

Some thoughts:

Since an offline version of the account will not be updating 'live' as things change, some difference as compared to an online account are to be expected. But I am certain that you are already aware of that.

That said, here is what I think may be happening: I have understood that when you 'get recent changes' only, these changes will not necessarily include information on Minimum CPC and thus active/inactive status.

On the other hand if you download the entire account, this info will be included.

I'll confirm this tomorrow with a couple of colleagues and post again.
