Hi all, Since a couple of months i work with the DB with great pleasure. The only thing is that i cannot do anything on my pc with the created backup of the db from my palm, which is copied to the palm/backup dir. When i want to make the file readable CSV with pdb2csv (with the run--> command option under Win2000) i get the message 'unsupported field type' The exact phrase I type is: D:\DB\pdb2csv -e azr.pdb azr.txt azr.file I did exact as instructed in the manual from the net, but nothing happens..only 'unsupported field type'. What do I do wrong? Further I wanted to Ask if it is easy to implement the csv-file into a good database on my pc... Can someone give me a hand?
