no the answer is yes there are more then one db program for pocket pc which works with the format that mdb's turn into when synced with pocket pcs

Thanks again, Rudegar - I understand now

Pocket Controller or alike prog for MAC?

Is there a program for Mac like Pocket Controller (for PC) that shows my pocket pc screen on my desktop, and let's me operate my pocket pc remotely that way?
I recently went from windows to Mac and find too little aplications for them to interact.
Using Missing Sync.
(WM5 and OS X 10.4.9)

Are you ABSOLUTELY sure it'll work? It hasn't worked on any of my test devices. PocketVncServ v0.8 ( http://www.smartphonetoday.com/software/pocketpc/pocketVncServ-2004-12-29-ce-pocketpc.html ), on the other hand, does.
Also see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=514&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 for a complete discussion of this subject (recommended for everyone, especially before asking questions already answered in there ).

Yes, it works like a charm. And I had contact with the programmer. If you have a problem, you can contact him and he will try to help.

Best PIM software, anyone?

I've been searching for a good PIM software forever. I loved the PIM software that came with the PalmOS. Since changed to Windows Mobile, I have not found one that can match up with the native Palm PIM. I am not looking for much. All I want, is simple "search" function added to the Calendar and Task (todo) programs that comes with Windows Mobile 6.1. Is that too much to ask for?
All the commercial software packages I've tried, either, too slow, use up too much memory, not hooked up with Windows Mobile environment well, or all of the above.
Any suggestions! thanks very much!

Yes, me too. Since my Psion revo, I've not found anything similar. The one thing I miss is multiple diaries. With WM6 everything has to be on one diary. I would like to seperate my work and personal diaries (without use of 'categories'). I've looked and looked. Everything seems to be simply a 'front end' to the WM one, but nothing unique.

I had a great plug in on my PalmV that gave me a week view of my calendar on the screen just like a paper diary, why has no-one done this for the Pocket PC?

Check out ThumbCal, the latest version has an option for "Week view".

ActiveSync 3.8 with WM6.0 - sync'ing Outlook

Hi everyone
Wondering if you can help with a tricky little problem which I am fearing there is no solution to... I've checked the forums and Googled it until I am blue in the face!!
Scenario:
PDA: iPAQ 614c running WM6.0
Work desktop: Running XP Sp2 with ActiveSync v3.8
Obviously not compatable!
I cannot upgrade from AS v3.8 to 4.5 as my work IT have locked everything down and will not allow upgrades at this time.
Highly unlikely I'm sure, but does anyone know whether it's at all possible to hack/roll-back/workaround etc allowing me to sync my WM6.0 PDA with ActiveSync 3.8.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers
Steve

The short answer is "not likely"
However (and this is only a suggestion), try to see if you can find a portable version of ActiveSync 4.5 (to run it from a USB drive). I don't even know if someone has prepared one of these, but that might just solve your problem (if it exists of course )
Hope this helps...

Hey egz. Thanks for your swift reply!
Unfortunately (and rather typically) my work lock down all CD and USB drive access! Very frustrating indeed - I'm glad they trust us IT Developers!
Thanks again for your time, I think I am back to the drawing board.

would be awesome if someone did find a solution to this, as microsoft removed the sync over wifi after this edition of active sync

I feel your pain. It's exactly the same where I work. Sometimes we have to find ways around the security just to be able to do our jobs! It's ridiculous!!

LEO and Lotus Notes

Hi Guys,
I want to connect my Leo with my office PC, which runs Lotus Notes.
On my old device (Elfin) it worked perfect with CommonTime.
With my LEO it will not function somehow.
Any Ideas,
I have a LN7 mailbox and environment LN 8

Do a search in the HD2 General forum, rather than this one. I've seen people talking about using Lotus Notes with their HD2s there, and from what I remember they were succesful.
Good luck

Tnx,
I thought I put it in apps, but after searching I found the solution.
EasysyncPro does the job...
I feel stupid now, I did search but by far not good enough..
