PIM data translation
You can translate only one file at a time. To translate
multiple PIM data files, you need to repeat the Translation
operation for each file separately.
To translate appointment data
1. Double-click the HP PIM Translation Utility icon to
start the program.
2. In the Welcome screen, click Appointments.
3. Specify the appointment data file to translate in the
Open File dialog box that appears, and then click
OK. If the file you specify is not a PIM database file
of the appropriate type, you will get an error mes-
sage.
4. In the Appointment Book Translation Note screen,
click OK. The Data Translation Progress screen
appears, showing the progress of current translation
activity.
5. When the translation is complete, a message ap-
pears. Click OK to return to the Welcome screen.
Limitation on appointment translation
Although the Appointment Book applications on the
HP 100LX/200LX palmtop PCs and HP OmniGo 100/120
organizers and the Calendar application on the HP Palmtop
PC support daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly repeated
events, the Schedule+ application supports only daily and
yearly repeated events. Because all translation goes through
Schedule+, there is no direct mapping from earlier
HP Palmtop products to Schedule+ for repeating weekly and
monthly events. As long as you do not edit imported repeat-
ing weekly or monthly events in Schedule+ before you
synchronize them with the HP Palmtop PC, they will
translate correctly into repeating events on the palmtop PC.
If, however, you edit them in Schedule+, they lose their
weekly/monthly attribute and are treated as single events.
