Okay.... I read the whole 300 page book on my handheld
Well, every single page that applied to me, i.e. skipped things like multi-media, music, wireless, etc, things I'm not doing or worrying about now. I sat here last night and just read it straight through, skipping anything that didn't apply to me and my Zire.
And I still can't find anything about how to get an Access file or Word file saved to a PDB format and put into Zephyr (my Zire). I read there is other software available to do it, but it didn't provide a lot of information about Mobile DB-PC.
I think I need a manual on Mobile DB-PC. Anyone have any ideas where I might find one? The only manual I seem to have is just plain Mobile-DB. It explains that if you have Mobile-DB-PC you can interface your data bases with the computer, but says nothing beyond that.
On a happier note, I was able to reconfigure settings to be able to edit on the PC in Mobile DB and actually write it over to the handheld, rather than the handheld writing over the computer again. But there is still no setting on system (which is apparently the setting that changes this action), that gives me synchronization options, I only get handheld overwrites PC, PC overwrites handheld, and do nothing.
Would it maybe be safest with this issue to select do nothing unless I'm actually transferring the data base info back and forth deliberately? I don't want a random hotsync to screw it up.
Also, I was wondering if there is a way to get Mobile DB-PC into the settings list and maybe then it would have a configure setting of synchronize?
Ah well, at least I have a temporary fix while I work on a real one. :)
Would appreciate any and all information that might help. I'm determined to figure this out.
