I've install Pocket Informant 2007 today to my Storage Card (as its so big). I have also configured Pocket Breeze to use this as default PIM, however the Calendar softkey when pressed gives the following error:-
\WINDOWS\PICalendar.lnk
The file 'PICalendar' cannot by opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.
I can load it ok from its shortcut in the Programs menu and from pocket breeze so its not the application thats not working.
Any ideas on how to sort this out? Is it because its installed to the Storage Card instead of local memory?
Thanks
Mark
I bet the file is not in the Windows folder.
You could change it to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\PocketInformant\PICalendar.lnk (sorry guessing here )
Or even better, use THIS tool to assign PI to your softkeys
Works on VGA and qVGA devices.

I used to be able sync outlook notes with my xda2.
Now I cannot.
It says "Attention required" under Notes in the ActiveSync window. When I click on :"Resolve Items..." I get an "Information Type Not Synchronized" Error. With text: "Items of one or more information types cannot be synchronized. Disconnect and reconnect your device. To view all error messages and dialog bozed that require your input, you must connect to this computer via infraren or serial/USB cable."
I DID NOT INSTALL ANYTHING NEW BEFORE IT HAPPENED. The last thing i did besides the usual texting, is write a new task and new alarm note thru Pocket Informant. (My suspect is alarm notes in Pocket Informant.)
Actions I took and results:
1. Reset XDA2 -> Didn't work
2. Restart MS ActiveSync in PC -> same
3. Reset XDA2 and restarted PC -> same
4. Uninstalled ActiveSync and installed ver 3.8 -> same
5. Detect and Repair Outlook -> same
6. Scanpst -> same
Questions:
1. Has anyone encountered this?
2. What was your solution save a hard reset?
Thanks.

dunno if it's the same for you but i had duplicates in outllooks calendar that caused an error so worth a check ,but it's probably not that ....only trying to help
Don't know how many notes you have...try creating a new notes folder in Outlook. Temporarily move all of your notes there.
Syncing should work.
Move the notes back eithe rone at a time or in small batches...syncing after each move.
This should help you pin down a bad record. Once you find it, just recreate the note (copy and paste works fine).

One time the unplug and reconnect worked for me.
The next time I unplugged and moved the notes to a location that does not sync. I reconnected and it cleared. I then moved the whole folder of notes back and they sync'd fine.
Update: I set a song to be my ringtone and it was copied to \My Documents\My ringtone folder. Activesync cannot sync the ringtone file since it is "in use" by the phone software. I moved the ringtone to \windows\ringtones and the sync error stopped.

Just to be sure, check that the \WINDOWS\PICalendar.lnk is the same file that you use to open via the Programs menu.
I'm with the same problem.
Someone help us?
Tks.
I found the solution.
1.
a. Remove PICalendar.lnk from the windows directory.
After this you will get a new error that says it can not find the shortcut.
b. You will have to edit your registry, so you will need an editor. I use Total Commander.
GO TO
\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
Change the "Open" value to
\Windows\AppButtons\Calendar.lnk
2.
a. Remove PICalendar.lnk from the windows directory.
b. GO TO \Windows\AppButtons\ Copy the file Calendar and rename it to PICalendar and move to \Windows\
It will solve the problem. At least solved to me

Fabio can you post up what i need to edit so that the soft key for contact will default to Pi ?
thanks..
I need to synchronize my Touch Cruise with Microsoft Access on my PC desktop but who develops database (SprintDB, f.e.) writes me:
"there is no way to synchronize database files on Windows Mobile 6 because Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 does not support database sync"
It is unbelievable, my old pda with Palm OS (no Windows!) was more compatible with Microsoft that this one with Windows Mobile create by microsoft ????
There is some experienced that can help me to resolve this problem?
There's no Pocket Access, so what's the point in syncing it?
Unfortunately with the version 6 of Windows Mobile and 4,5 of Active Sync have disappeared Pocket Access what it converted the files .mdb in to .cdb
ActiveSync 4.1 (or maybe it was 4.0) supports database sync with WM2003. However, WM6 does not have the proper conduits, in fact no version has since WM2003. WM5 can be been hacked to support database syncing. So I assume WM6 can be too. I don't know this alone will do it, you may then have to hack ActiveSync 4.5 to include (if they are indeed excluded) whatever database conduits ActiveSync 4.1 and before have.
These instructions may apply to WM6 also. (Original thread can be found here: http://www.tierramapper.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10)
The following steps will enable Windows Mobile 5 devices using Active Sync 4.x to create Pocket Access (.cdb) databases by copying and pasting a PC Access database to an Active Sync connected Pocket PC device.
Microsoft, by default dropped this functionality when upgrading from PPC 2003 to Windows Mobile 5.0. The following will re-enable this feature.
*This procedure is only required for Windows Mobile 5.0 users.
1. Copy the 4 files in the http://www.TierraMapper.com/Downloads/WindowsMobile5PocketAccess.zip file to your Pocket PC in the \Windows directory.
2. Register the adosync.dll. From your Pocket PC, open File Explorer and navigate the \Windows\Regsvrce.exe file. Click on this file and type the full path to the adosync.dll, \Windows\adosync.dll, and click OK.
3. On the desktop, remove the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\SpecialDefaults\PocketPC04\Services\Synchronization\Objects\~MicrosoftTable
4. Disconnect and reconnect the PPC device before "Pocket Access" sync enabled.
You are now ready to copy an Access database to your Pocket PC and Active Sync will prompt you with the Pocket Access (.cdb) conversion dialog as in PPC 2003.

it's problematic when there are so many stronger database applications than Pocket Access such as Borland...
Possibility
Could this be a similar issue for me?

Thank you.
Thank's Sonus but you write:
"3. On the desktop, remove the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\SpecialDefaults\PocketPC04\Services\Synch ronization\Objects\~MicrosoftTable "
but regretfully the key ~MicrosoftTable doesn't exist in my registries. I only find:
~Appointment
~Contact
~Merlin Mail
~Task
Media
Do I perhaps have to add it instead of removing it?
I have read the forum to the link tierramapper and TierraMa talk only about WM 5. I have WM6 instead.

Hmmm, that's interesting. I have the ~MicrosoftTable entry in my PC's registry. Don't create the entry though. Instead try following steps 1 and 2, make sure that the "Convert files when synchronized, copied, or moved" box is checked in ActiveSync "Tools>Advanced Tools>Edit File Conversion Settings..." and then copy an MS Access database file (*.mdb file) to your Touch Cruise using activesync. Report back to us as to whether or not you then get prompted to setup a database sync.

In order:
1. I have performed the points 1 and 2 correctly on device;
2. i have just flagged the "convert files" in "acive sync 4.5 build 5096;
3. in tools of Active Sync, for "microsoft Office Access Application" in the setting folder "conversione from PC to device" i see: type of file of PC = .mdb, type of file of device = .mdb (i try to modify in .cdb but it is no possible!);
4. with right click in setting icon "file" in Active Sync i added a sample of .mdb file microsoft access 2000/2003;
5. i can see this file in folder "C:\Documents and Settings\battocch\My Documents\HTC_P3650 My Documents\" on my desktop PC with XP;
6. i syncronize PC and device;
7. after syncronisation i see again the file .mdb in personal folder of PC but there is not anything in the device.
I try even to reinstall Active Sync but nothung it is changed.
Step 3 is the issue. Earlier versions of ActiveSync would allow for a conversion of mdb to cdb when copying database files. This would then allow for a sync relationship. My guess would be to try an earlier version of ActiveSync (4.1 or earlier)...
I haven't used it but Handbase appears to sync with access:

How do I Change calendar shortcut on manila 2d
2d to a different calendar program?
I.E. Pocket Informant. Thanks
if pocket informant doesn't require additional dlls from it's own dir you can rename it's exe to calendar.exe and copy it over the original calendar.exe
when you click the cal in M2D it will load it instead of the original one.
make sure you backup the original calendar.
also you can hexedit m2d.exe to point to a different prog, but you will need it in the windows folder.
(mine is set for thumbcal)
I have renamed to PI in the registry, but it still opens windows calendar. Anyone else get PI to work?
BUMP....Anyone???
anyone figure this out yet
I'm new to WM6 and I'm sure my WM5 Universal let me save cab attachments to my card so I could install them, but my HTC Touch Pro 2 won't allow me to access an attached cab 'for security reasons'
There is no advanced setting I can change to allow me to access them - why do they treat us like morons?
So I put it in a zip but although the received email on my TP2 is the right size no attachment is shown :-(
So I had a brainwave and thought I'd just rename the cab a ms friendly doc before emailing it to my phone - but of course the standard file browser can't rename extensions and I haven't loaded a 3rd party file manager yet (maybe I'll email myself the cab for one....)
John
why u emailing the cabs to yourself, use bluetooth or even better active sync
cos its easier
failed miserably to get by Vista to send files by bluetooth to my TP2 and can't find my cable.
I'd use wifi but how do you do that with Vista? I have to transfer from my Vista to my XP networked the only way possible as a netwoirk drive, then wifi from there.
Email is far easier if pocket outlook didn't think it knew better :-(
Got Resco Explorer now so email my files as .docs , funnily enough half of then don't show up as attachments on my phone. hmmph
set up bluetooth share folder properly in your tp2 settings. that way when u bluetooth ur cab it will be saved directly in that folder.
U can specify where that folder is, (device or card).
If u install advanced config (search for it here) u can set it to keep the cab after install, for future reference.
