CPack will not Translate/Merge Custom databases 100LX

CPack will not Translate/Merge Custom databases

100LX

Custom databases will work fine with the 100LX Connectivity Pack software. However, the merge/translate application in CPack 100 only knows 5 formats:

1. 95LX Appointment

2. 95LX Phone

3. 100LX Appointment

4. 100LX Phone

5. Comma-delimited ASCII

When you re-arrange fields in the Phone book or create your own database with the 100LX Database application, CPack will not be able to merge or synchronize (update both files so they are identical) those files. When you try to run a custom database through the translate/merge function, you will get the following error messages in the XLATE.LOG file:

ERROR:

Non-standard phonebook format

Translation canceled!

So you will have to use a program like GDBIO <ON DISK ICON> that will import, export and merge .GDB database files. I guess I have to keep working on GDBIO!
