[Anonymous]

Attempting to open the Address (contacts list) DB using

Attempting to open a field linked to the Address DB using
the AddressDB plugin will cause the following error (and
force a reboot)

above errors occurred while accessing items residing in
the Palm main memory).

Thought it might help to tag this with my sourceforge ID.

As best as I can tell, this works for me with Pose
simulating a Palm V. I'm very unfamiliar with how this
plugin is supposed to work, though so maybe I'm missing
something.

What worked for me:

0) start Pose as a Palm V
1) load db-1.2.0-alpha2.prc
2) load an unrelated movies.db
3) load db-AddressDB.prc
4) open AddressDB within pilot-db: empty
5) switch to Address book, add entry with first/last name
6) switch back to pilot-db, Address entry visible
7) click on first name, see full page of mostly empty info
8) click on return icon at bottom of page

All this worked. Should I try other things? I'm wondering
if Tungsten support might be poor somehow (compile option?),
as coincidentally the other plugin bug report is from a
Tungsten user.

I get a RESET when I attempt to use a field linked to the
AddressDB plugin Database.

on my m130.

I could try moving off of external SD and to internal
memory, if you want me to try, Nate...

That would seem to be the difference between Palm V and
Tungsten C.

I just tested it with success on PalmOS Simulator 5.0
Release and 5.4 Release:

0) start PalmSim
1) load db-1.2.0-alpha4.prc
2) load db-AddressDB.prc
3) open AddressDB within pilot-db: empty
4) switch to Address book, add entry with first/last name
5) switch back to pilot-db, Address entry visible
6) click on first name, see full page of mostly empty info
7) click on return icon at bottom of page

5.4 Simulator has some display oddities, but does work
without crash. Among other changes, the current alpha is
compiled with --enable-vfs, which may have fixed the
problem. Or perhaps something is different between the
simulator and the real. I think I've seen reference to a
specific Tungsten simulator, but I haven't actually found
it. I'll try to test on that as well, but in the meantime
I'd appreciate if you could try once again on the real
device. Thanks!
