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
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:

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.
OK, I need to access my HTC Mda/Wizard's Windows folder through my PC. I have Vista and mobile device center. When I was using a PC with XP and activesync there was no problem but with vista and device center the windows folder isn't visible at all, only when i access it through my actual phone. does anyone know how i can access this folder using vista?
I think you have to go to folder options and pick "show hidden folders" or something. See if that works.
Go into Organise > Folder and Search View and untick the box 'Hide protected operating system files'.
I usually turn it back on afterwards to hide all the crap Vista dots about your system
thanks a lot guys
Hello,
When I connect my HTC to my pc and exchange starts up I get my phone in "Computer" In there I have 2 drivers, my cellphone standard memory and my SD Card...
I wanted to arrange my shortcuts trough my pc but I see there is no Windows folder when I check out the cellphone "drive" ?
Is there something I did wrong or is there another program wich allows me to access it?
Hi there,
From what i gather, you are using the explore part of active sync. In windows explorer you need to enable "show all files" or "show hidden files".
THis way you will be able to see the windows folder and do what you want to do.
