PDA IMPORT/EXPORT:
dBworxPE allows you to import and export dBworxPE files in Pilot-DB
format. Pilot-DB is a freeware database program for Palm OS
handhelds; you can download the current version from:
http://pilot-db.sourceforge.net
To use Pilot-DB in conjunction with dBworxPE, install the current
version on your PC and your handheld. Once Pilot-DB is installed
you can export any dBworxPE database as a ".pdb" file (using the
'Create export file (Pilot-DB)' option under the 'File' menu) and
hot-sync the export file to your PDA. All of the fields in the dBworxPE
file will be copied to the export file - however special field types
such as External, Graphic, Formula, Lookup and Relational fields
will not be functional in Pilot-DB.
If you use Pilot-DB to make changes to your database file while it's
on the handheld, you can also import it back into dBworxPE. You can
select to add the entries in the imported file to the records already
in your database or to completely replace the entries in the existing
file.
To import the Pilot-DB file, select 'Import Pilot-DB file' from the
'File' menu and follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: dBworxPE can also export to and import from TBworx, a Time
Billing program from Plworx for Palm O/S handhelds. For more
