Re: [pilot-db-list] Comment, question and a possible bug

Sorry to not have been clear in my description. I did see this read me 
file and I did follow the link to have a look, and yes, I also saw that 
it is not for the Mac :)

What I mainly was hoping for is to EXPORT data from the DB - e.g. 
ThoughtMill lets you export the data to the MemoPad and from there one 
can synch it with the PalmDesktop etc. Also AllTime lets you do that, it 
gives you the option to export as tab or comma separated. As there is a 
size limit with the Memo, I have found that exporting large bodies of the 
text to the MemoPad+ will work as long as I only synch it once (i.e. to 
the desktop) and then instantly copy/paste/save/delete it out from the 
Palm Desktop application into some other text editor and then to go then 
from there for clean-up of the text and preparing it for FileMaker. Like 
that I can get all the hour tracking info into FileMaker and can use the 
hour database on the Palm and also on the desktop.

The question regarding the conversion utility: I (again) did not mean the 
palm-db-tools (at least I THINK I did not mean this utility) - I was 
referring to comments on the listserver concerning version 0.3 having 
some major changes which will need a conversion to allow databases prior 
to 0.3 be read by the version 0.3 

- do these questions make any sense?

Thanks,
