I will try to do the translation when it's usefull, but we look often the same questions and some users are not able to do the translation. Then the new lists will contain the same answers that you can find in the archive of this main mailing-list. I do that because if i receive a japanese mail i will not happy to not understand, and i think it's the same think for you. I do a lot of advertising in french and no you will see more and more french users.

[pilot-db-list] Field Properties and Filters

[Jenny W. <je...@mi...>]

Sorry if this question has an obvious answer that I'm not finding, but I
haven't found an answer elsewhere.

I just installed DB on my Palm and am trying to set up a database.  When I
try to show and edit the properties for each field, it just brings up a
blank screen with the buttons "Done" and "Cancel".  Is there a component to
install that I'm missing?  I couldn't find anything in the zip file that
would work.

Also, I'm not able to define the filters.  There doesn't seem to be a menu
option to do so.

For any replies, please CC: my email (je...@mi...).

Thanks!
Jenny

	Hello Frank.


On this list, due to it's world wide spread, we must speak
english, even if we're not fluent :-)

To use correctly csv2db.exe with a m$ machine, open a Dos box
and execute the programme at the dos prompt. It will display a
quick help. Start with it.

	A cause de son caractere international, nous sommes

	Pour utiliser correctement csv2pdb sur une machine

Hi,

again, this is about the English version 0.3.3c of Pilot-db:

How do I change the category of an existing database? I have found 
that I could create a database in any category, but move an 
existing database seems not to be possible.

>?? my english is too bad to understand.

Sorry. I'll try again. I am trying to transfer a large (>3000 record)
database from my main computer to my palm. It takes forever. The reason is
that each record is being merged into the database rather than db3 spotting
that this is a new database (rather than a synchronisation). If the
database is new, there is no need to update pointers every record, it can
be done at the end. In addition, if a database is loaded using
synchronisation, each record the program has to decide where it goes in the
database, but since records are added from front to back each record is
added at the end. Searching from the start through the whole database takes
a *long time* especially when there are lots of records. This is what I
*think* is going on, but I may be wrong.

Thanks for your help,
Martin

It seems that DB can't jump to records in a large database.

OK - I will (dès que j'ai le temps)

OK - I won't have a lot of time but I could do this.
I'll need Win, UNIX or Perl sources to do it.

Since OnBoardC is now discontinued, forget it.

The source code comes with one the downloads. You can also read the 
instructions on the project page (http://sf.net/projects/pilot-db/) on how to 
access the CVS repository which has development code.

Re:[pilot-db-list] how do I remove db's from the pda?

[Chalain Marc<mar...@vo...>]

with the package you have a directory Plugins with a db-JFile3.prc. Install this file on your device. Open DB and if you don't see your databases select the menu "Rescan Databases".

Salut,
Marc.

Very strange.
First try to rescan the databases in the "Chooser".
Second send me your database.

But i'm interesting to know how you corrupted your databases. Perhaps there is a bug.

[pilot-db-list] minor bug in search / search again

[hermann g. <hgr...@gm...>]

hi 2 all ;-)

here a _minor_ bug when searching:

when the option  "use filter when possible" is checked the "search" 
and "search again" buttons are available. searching again works fine 
as long as no dataset is opened. when you open a dataset the search 
is cleared and the search again action will show simply the _next_ 
dataset, not the one which matches the former search criteria.


happy X-mas to all, especially for the developers of DB, relax some 
days ;-)

so long, ciao hermann
