[pilot-db-list] Security setting "Masked" is reset after opening database

[<on...@gm...>]

Hi all.
I am new to pilot-DB. I found the following problem and can't see why it is happening:

When I set a database as 'private' and then set Options > Security: Mask Private Entries, then the database is really masked.
Then I open the database (with my password), close it again.
After that the database is unmasked again, and the 'Options' security setting is back to "Show entries"
Why does this happen and is there anything I am doing wrong?
I want the private databasese to be masked all the time.

My system info: 
PDA: Palm Centro
OS: Palm OS Garnet 5.4.9 (used in German)
pilot DB: DB v.1.0.3

I described the bug here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2542704&group_id=621&atid=100621

Thanks.

Re: [pilot-db-list] URGENT HELP - reading "palm database files" on a PC desktop

.pdb files are generated by various database applications that are not 
necessarily compatible. You could install a Palm Emulator and load the 
required ROM file to have a working palm device on your desktop.

Unfortunately, I don't think so.  DB-Editor knows how to generate
Pilot-DB databases from CSV files, and import existing Pilot-DB files,
but I think it will bounce off of Address Book and Datebook databases.
 I tried it here on a backup of AddressDB.pdb, and it claimed it was
unsupported, based on the "addr" Creator ID.  (My device is a Tapwave
Zodiac 2.  It's an OS 5.21 device, but uses the "old style" Palm PIM
apps, which should be the same as the ones in Theresa's Clie.)

[pilot-db-list] page down

[Knox B <kno...@ho...>]

Does anybody know how, when scrolling down through the fields of a record within a database using the five-way of a Treo or Centro, to get it to go a page at a time instead of a field down at a time??

i see the scrolling options in the Global Preferences, but they do not seem to have any affect on this particular problem.

Again, when I am inside a record looking at the data in the fields of that record, I want the down button on  my five way control on my Palm OS Centro to move me a page down at a time, rather than a field at a time. 

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated! :)

Thanks.

Re: [pilot-db-list] I can't find on the "Help" noting about "Rebuild DB"

[Michael R. <mar...@gm...>]

Luiz:
I'm not a programmer, just a user, but generally rebuilding the database 
is a form of housekeeping.  If you've deleted records over time the 
database will be untidy, with unused space slowing it down, etc.  
Rebuilding does what the word implies, by reconstructing the data table 
and repacking all the data into a cleaner, more efficient datafile.  
Sometimes a datafile gets corrupted and often a rebuild will fix the 
problem.  You can get general info on this process by googling "rebuild 
database" or "rebuild palm database." 

As for why your Zire freezes, I have no idea. My Palm Tungsten never 
balks on rebuilding.

I hope this is of some help.  Hopefully, someone with more technical 
knowledge will also respond.

Install "DB-Editor", doco for this is cr*p, work off the files in the 
backup dir,
it will prompt you to add the changed file  on exit.

[pilot-db-list] Transfer DB to PC?

[Peter D <dy...@gm...>]

Greetings!
New to the Palm world - inherited a Palm, and so far I really like it.
(Had an old PocketPC that died)

LOVE the Pilot-DB! Does EXACTLY what I need! THANK YOU!!
BUT...
CAN'T seem to find any way of transfering created DB's to the PC!

In the Prefs, "Backup database at HotSync" has been selected;

After a sync, there is SOME sort of file located in:
Program Files - Palm - (user name) - Archive

But it in NO way resembles the name of the created database,
(a search on the PC shows the name of the database I created on the PALM
doesn't seem to exist at ALL - does this mean it never transfers with the
sync?)
it OPENS with DB-Editor,
but there are only SIX records - the one on my Palm has at least THIRTY so
far.

Q: How on earth do I access the REAL database I created on the Palm??

Thanks a million for any help!!

[pilot-db-list] sort text as numbers

[Kevin P. <KPr...@gl...>]

Does anyone know if there is a way to sort text as numbers in palm db?
For example, I have a field that is a text string field of room numbers,
ranging from 1-30or so, but sometimes there might be a room named G11 or
something that's why it needs to be text. If I sort ascending, then it
sorts only the starting with 1s together, then the 2s together. Is there
a way to sort text as numbers, as you can in Excel or other apps?

[pilot-db-list] Problem using Pilot DB

[Demuylder R. <ron...@my...>]

Hello, from a Belgium user (Ronny) with a problem.

First of all, Pilot-db is a fantastic program.  The best I have ever had on
a handheld.  I' am using it daily on my Palm LifeDrive for my financial
information (markets) and for my wine tasting activity (hobby).  The
possibility of presentation of the data is great.

Recently I had a "Fatal exception" error when putting an extra line in to
the db.  My Palm is resetting itself.  I had the impression he couldn't
calculate the data.  I have two years of data lines (477 lines / 60 columns)
in my financial db, with a lot of calculated fields.  Most of the non
calculated fields where originally put in with DB-Editor (coming from excel)
at the start (fourteen days ago).  The program worked perfectly for over two
weeks (more than 10 inputs).  There have been no changes in the structure of
the db.

What can be the problem ?  The file is 238KB big.  I have enough disk space
3,6 GB (98%) and 44,5 MB (68%) of available memory.  Is there a limit of
data or space in Pilot-db ?  Is my Palm the limit ?

I tried several times with a copy of the db and got the same error over
again at the same line of data.  Even a line just with a date (without data)
is enough for a fatal error.

I want to set up more db's with financial data.  They will be smaller.  So,
I' am asking myself, is there a difference of data coming from excel over
DB-editor and data put in directly in Pilot-db ?  Are there (other) things
that I must take in consideration ?  Is there a product that is better
suitable for financial data ? I don't like working with excel on my palm.

Who can help me with this ?

By the way, there are no problems with my wine-db.  Its working perfectly.

I want to thank everybody who is willing to help me to sort out my problem.

Greats,

Ronny

[pilot-db-list] Fine tuning an order DB using Pilot-DB

[dual <du...@rd...>]

First of all: sorry if this message reaches you many times since I've =
tried more than once to send it and it is the first time I send a =
message.

Hello,

My name is Daniel Cristut and it it only one week since I'm trying to =
build an order DB onto a Palm.

I've hence discovered Pilot-DB and I must say it is a GREAT tool. I've =
actually managed to build my own database in less than 15 minutes.

Right now my order database looks like this:
    Product_code        string
    Product_price1       float
    Product_price2        float
    Customer1_qty1    integer
    Customer1_qty2    integer
    Customer2_qty1    integer
    Customer2_qty2    integer
    ....
    CustomerN_qty1    integer
    CustomerN_qty2    integer

It's more like a spreadsheet and each customer has 2 columsn:1 - normal =
order; 2 - promotions (related to the two prices of the product)
I've also built a view for each customer, containig: Product_code, =
CustomerI_qty1, CustomerI_qty2, Product_price1 and Product_price2
therefore is very easy to collect data for a particular customer: you =
only select the appropiat view for him and collect the quantities for =
each product.

All above information is generated into an info file I use when I =
convert the CSV database into a PDB (CSV2PDB)

And here's my question (at last ) : How can I, in the INFO file I use, =
specify the parameter "Use this view to edit a record", very important,
since I want to edit only those columns associated with the current =
customer's view (actually each customer has his own view).

And one more question: Where and how can I insert a script to calculate =
the value for the current view=3Dcustomer, i.e.=20

(+  (* Product_price1 CustomerI_qty1) (* Product_price2 CustomerI_qty2)) =
for ALL the records in the database

(I think I need some function -or some trick- to associate the field =
number with the current view, because Product prices field numbers are =
constant
but CustomerI_qty1 / 2 are variable depending to the current =
view/customer )

Thank you very much
Daniel

[pilot-db-list] problem with br command in db Script

I'm working on a DB to handle role-playing characters (RuneQuest III =

etc

I hit on the idea of using fields as temp variables.=20

20 20     39     1.003

35 23     57     3.004=20

I conclude that the br command is broken as it always returns the zeroth =

Changing the Options -> Global Preferences -> Display to 'zero digits =

[pilot-db-list] question about where to store pilotdb databases

[Margo G. <mh...@cu...>]

Hi,
I've used pilotdb in the past & like it very much. I have a lot of 
databases for it. When I had a palm 515, I kept these databases 
accessible using Pidirect, which uses an expansion card as RAM. Now I 
have moved on to a Lifedrive (my 515 screen gave up the ghost) and I 
cannot use Pidirect. I cannot find my databases, although they are all 
on the internal drive of the Lifedrive. Can you tell me how I can tell 
pilotdb how to find them? I would like to keep them on the drive and not 
in RAM, since the RAM on the Lifedrive is somewhat limited (believe it 
or not, I've already filled more than half the available memory). Do I 
make a folder? Can I tell pilotdb to open a folder on the internal drive 
or on an expansion card?

Thanks in advance.
Margo Guda.

Re: [pilot-db-list] Pilot DB and syncing with desktop.

[Dirk D. <dir...@gm...>]

Hi,

Thx for the reaction. But i suppose I will keep on using my filemaker
mobile. The thing is that the "search" option on the palm os is limited.
Meaning: if I would like to search my database on the palm os, I can only
search one field. Yet I would like to search different fields at the same
time. For instance: within the field of author match 'gallese', within the
field 'year' match 2004, within the field 'journal' match nature. All that
is possible on the desktop (both in filemaker or in open source db soft).
Yet, for some reason there seems to be no possibility to impliment that
within Palm OS (due to the limited power of the processor?). I thought that
open source might have had the alternative (all of this is not possible in
filemaker mobile). But also open source has to little possibilities. If I

Kind regards,
Dirk.
