Data Reinitialized When Filtered Column Changes

Hello,
We have SQL2005 Server, SQL Mobile 2005 CF2.0 application. It seems that
when we mark Orders as complete on the server, it redownloads all
OrderDetails from the server down to the PDA, even though there are no
changes to this table on the server, and there are changes on the PDA that
should get uploaded.
We have 2 tables Orders and OrderDetails. We want only non-complete Orders
and their OrderDetails to filter down to the pda.
So we have a base filter setup on our Orders table like this:
SELECT <published_columns> FROM
[dbo].[Orders] WHERE [Orders].[Completed] = 0 AND
[Orders].[OwnerContactID]=HOST_NAME()
Then we add a join filter to get OrderDetails for those Orders:
SELECT <published_columns> FROM [dbo].[Orders] INNER JOIN
[dbo].[OrderDetails] ON [Orders].[OrderID] = [OrderDetails].[OrderID]
Everthing works great most of the time, the problem is, when someone on the
server marks an Order as Complete, but there are still changes to
OrderDetails on the PDA, it generates conflict on OrderDetails. It does try
to upload from the PDA for OrderDetails, but they are filtered into a
conflict table, and the server wins. The OrderDetails table has not been
touched on the server, so I don't understand this. It's like the server
"sets" all the columns in OrderDetails when Orders.Completed is changed to
TRUE, and then the changes from the PDA are regarded as a conflict.
I don't think I understand how this works, and there probably is a reason is
for this. Any help or suggestions of a better way to do this, filter
Non-Complete items down without reinitializing the child data when that
filtered data changes, please let me know!
Thanks!
Are you using column level tracking? It seems that with column level
tracking this should work.
