Yes. Start a new database and edit the labels to suit. Whilst still in this database, choose the
’Create new file...’ option from the ’File’ menu. The new database will inherit the labels from the
originating database. The new database will also retain any preferences set in the original
database.
Q: How do I undelete records from a Data file? I have accidentally deleted some records
from my database. Can I get them back?
The "Undo delete" option in the "Edit" menu is the only hope of recovering a single, recently
deleted record. Nothing more can be done to undelete numerous records. As no one has any
knowledge of the low-level data format, it is not possible to undelete entries using another
program either.
Q: How can I change the type of a field in an MC 218 database?
Open the database you want to alter Select "Create New File", which makes an empty database
with the same field names Delete the field(s) you want to restructure - in my case the "Notes:"
field Add the new field(s) with exactly the same names as the old ones Under "File", "More", select
"Merge In..." and select the original database
Q: When I try to sort by more than one label, I get "Labels too long for sorting".
Problem: One of your fields has more than 200 characters. Solution: Use different fields to sort by
or change the field information to use fewer than 200 characters.
Q: Why is an (sound recording for example) embedded object "read only"?
If you select the object from the main view, the object is read only. To modify the object, you
must first select "edit entry" and then select the object.
Q: "Setup has detected a previous installation on your machine..."
For Information Purposes: If a user receives the following message, it is likely that they have tried
to uninstall EPOC Connect 2.x manually and got it in a bit of a mess, and then tried to re-install.
"Setup has detected a previous installation on your machine. Some of the application files are still
in use. Please close all Explorer windows and reboot your computer or restart Windows. " The
message occurs as a result of a check during the installation for any existing files that are open
(and consequently cannot be overwritten). It will cause the installation to quit. This is usually the
result of still having the connection server running. To get round this, the user should close the
connection server and delete all the files in the installation directory.
Q: Can you convert files without an MC 218 connected?
Yes using the stand alone converter application. You can find a shortcut to it in "Start Menu |
Programs | Ericsson EPOC Connect | Convert Files."
Q: Can I have more than one version of EPOC Connect installed on my PC?
No.
Q: When I try to synchronize, I get “unable to initialise API, must supply valid account
details”. What does it mean?
Their mailbox login is set incorrectly.
Q: When I try to synchronize to Lotus, I get “cannot find Calendar”.
This is because they have renamed their section for appointments / day entries in Lotus. Just
change the specified section in Day entries / Appointments under Entry Types under Properties.
Q: Are third party developers creating plug-ins for EPOC Connect?
