HandDbase: going from Palm to BB
« on: January 03, 2010, 05:21:04 PM »
Hey so I guess I'll start the Software section off with this.  My father's been faithfully using his Sony Clie and HandDbase for a number of years.  needless to say the aged (1st gen) Clie is dying and work got him a blackberry. 

He Has bought HdB for the BB and cannot figure out how do get it to work.  Being me I've scoured their terrible site and gleaned as much info as they have provided (which is pretty close to NIL)

Has any one had any experience crossgrading from HandDbase 3.0 for Palm to HandDbase 4.0 and BlackBerry

Yeah, I tried to tell him BB wasn't the way to go.
Handbase makes (obviously ;) ) Small databases. I think he uses it to make fairly simple

Database Entry (say patient name)
        Five or six datapoints per entry

His problem is he has a couple of long standing databases which (for instance) are for a certain disease and each entry lists a patient and then certain stats on that patient are within that entry

Does this app sync to his computer? If it does, you can use the computer to facilitate the transfer.

Yes the idea is that the BB sync for Handbase has some issues.  you must use Handbase for desktop to do the transfer we're just trying to figure out how to get it to recognize the old databases (Note: I've yet to sit down with the computer to actually try it so it'll probably be easy for me, he's just having trouble with it and I thought I'd see if anyone has any experience (i.e. robin with his father's BBs ;) )

Yeah, I offered to find him a used clie or a clie battery but he said it would just be prolonging the inevitable.

Can you upgrade him to the trial version of 4 and use it with the desktop sync? Obviously I have no experience with HanDBase, so I'm taking some wild guesses here. Once the data is on the computer, it should in the same format as the BlackBerry desktop sync product, right?
