Check your HotSync setup (right click on the HotSync icon on your system tray and click on the Setup... menu item). The conduits are probably set to "Handheld overwrite PC". You'll want it to be set to synchronize between the Zire and the PC.
Thanks, I found that setting and changed it to Desktop overwriting handheld. Now I can switch that back and forth right? Or do I have to set a default?
Always read the manual first. Even with the dire state of most manuals, sometimes you still find useful nuggets of information.
I did, actually, read the manual for Mobile-DB. It doesn't seem to give me much in the way of info on Mobile-DB-PC. I bought a $25.00 book to read on the entire thing, (on Palm Handhelds), but haven't had a chance to read an entire book yet. I've flipped through things but not been able to find what I was looking for, so I appreciate your help.
The manual for Mobile-DB should tell you how, but again, check what the HotSync conduits are setup to do.
I'm hoping that this fixed it, because the Mobile-DB-PC collects any database that I make on the Zire, but then if I hotsync it was deleting any entries I made in it. I think maybe the overwrite setting was the problem, I'll try again tomorrow, I'm not trying again tonight, it's almost 1 a.m.
The Palm Desktop should have options for importing data if you already have it in electronic form. Otherwise, just enter them into the Contacts part of the Palm Desktop and perform a HotSync (after making sure that HotSync is setup correctly).
I can do it in the Address Book, or something like that, but I want to actually import an Access Data Base, if possible. If not, then the next best thing is to create it on the PC in Mobile PC and transfer it to the Zire.
Thanks, this really helped!
