I don't know how Access syncs with the palm.  I have never really
used that but the best way i can think for you to do this is.

1.0  Make a master Tinydb that has all the fields and forms but no
data.
2.0  Copy that tinydb as a new one and name it for Hernia.
3.0  Input all the diferent types of hernias into the catagory list
inside the tinydb.
4.0  Enter data into each catagory for each heriana type by selecting
the catagory.

now each database you create you keep in the home listing as a
seperate catagory from all you other tinydbs.

You could also devise a way to filter out each topic using catagories
and filters but i think this is the more confusing then have several
seperate dbs.

P :o)

P.S.  I hope this wasn't two confusing.

here is a grphical repinsentation:

home (medical catagory)
   tiny db
     -catagory inside tinydb

Home (medical catagory
   Hernia DB
     -bad hernia
     -silly hernia
   Neck DB
     -blue neck
     -red neck
   Leg DB

Hiya Steve...

My last message burped outta here by accident....some kind of keyboard
glitch, I guess...  anyway...

I'm using my ThinkDB for quite a few things already.

Favorite use is keeping a list of some hobbies I do.  It's a great place to
keep track of what magazines are containing which interestesting projects.

I own a small retail shop.. so I keep vendor info and  inventory lists.  I
can use the checkbox feature to mark off items as I'm ordering them.

If you're using it for meeting notes...  do you have the Palm folding
keyboard?   I've found it too frustrating to graffiti info into it.

Sally

I see what you mean about the nulls.

It affects reports in the Minimum, Non-nulls and Nulls.  I'm not sure
what else your trying to do.  When i view the list there are 0's and
when i link there are 0's so maybe it is you version.  Try 1.4.1

Files that are exported to CSV with Quotes are because
1.0  there is a comman in the data column
2.0  the designer thought it would make it safe for the user.

Your fix
you can do 1 of 2 things to fix this
1.0  open the CSV file with notepad (this will only work if your data
doesn't have any comma's in it eg. prices, names etc...) and replace
all " with nothing.
2.0  see if Excell with replace all " with nothings after you import
it.

I hope this helps. p :o)

Hello,

I have been using ThinkDB for around 8 months now. I am a surgery
resident and have written an application to log my cases. I have also
written an MSAccess program that will accept my operative cases,
using ThinkDb Desktop as a port.

What I have done within Access is created several relationships so
that I have around 10 categories with around 100 different types of
cases filed under each category.

Does anyone know of a way by which to make these same categories
using the ThinkDB so that I wouldn't have to go through extra steps
when I import into Access?

Let me give an example for repair of an inguinal hernia:

In Access I have a pull down list that I select a category (in this
example Hernias). After selecting hernias, I have another pull down
menu that will list all of the different types of hernia operations,
and none of the cases in other categories.

As you can see, if I could do this from the Palm it would save a
tremendous amount of time. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jason

I am a program evaluator for a non-profit agency. We have twelve programs
that I track on a monthly basis -- some of which are offsite. I bought TDB
so I could enter client data from the offsite locations. I had to abandon
that, though because I can't figure out to how to get it to recognize 0 as
something other than "null." I haven't been able to find anything about that
in the user's manual.

Any suggestions? Each of my fields is a separate category of data (like
"Length of time in the program," etc.) There are some cases in which the
input is 0 -- this is where I get into the problem.

Also, I use SPSS to analyze the data and have to get it into EXCEL format
first before I can import it into SPSS. I tried doing the CSV format, but
when it opens in SPSS, each of the data in the cells are surrounded by "".

I would like to use it they I had planned, but can't until I get over these
hurdles.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

John Glass

Your sales oriented application is similar to ours. We are a life insurance
company. We assign a "book" of customers to an agent. This book consists of
about 400 client groups and may represent as many as 2000 insured lives. Our
application would place the agent's client list on the Palm device which he
or she could refer to for sales and service opportunities. Presently the
agent carries around a book that approximates the size of the Detroit
metropolitan residential telephone directory.

I'm using ThinkDB on a Palm Professional with 960K of memory. I travel eight

This is just great.   Day one of a new email list  that *could* be useful
and we've already got a bunch of users that think rest of us are interested
in how many welcome letters they've gotten.

I understand this to be a moderated group.   As such, you shouldn't be
throwing insults any more than you preach to have others not be rude.  Even
we DSL users don't like garbage posts.

I second the gentleman that recommended that all new users to this group get
a letter about netiquette expected here.

Let's all try get on some ThinkDB topics if we expect this list to be
worthwhile.  After all, there are plenty of places out on Usenet for garbage
posts.

Sally

I work for a large coin-op game distributor/operator.  One way I
use ThinkDB for business is to have it keep track of all our
amusement game locations and the various equipment which
we place in them.  Equipment is moved quite often, so this helps
me keep track of things in a neat unobtrusive way.  I don't need to
travel with a huge printout.  I simply  run ThinkDB and know,
before I walk into a location, the manager's name, the equipment
which should be in the place, how long different pieces of
equipment have been in place, what day we collect the games,
etc.  Very handy.

Other than that, I use ThinkDB to maintain expenses, keep a
database of restaurants that I like (or don't like), and more.

Great program.  The only suggestion I've ever made is that there
be a way to link into the built-in address database.  It would
eliminate a lot of duplication.

Hi,

I'm a programmer and would like to write a program that actually
syncs the ThinkDB with Access, not import and Export.

I'm looking for information or perhaps a Delphi Componant that will
allow me to read the Data.  Perhaps ThinkDB could release the Specs
for the data so other develpoers could extend it.

I tried to arrange something with them but they wanted me under
contract!  I was willing to sign an NDA but that wasn't good enough.
I've not been able to get them to respond since.  ThinkDB is powerful
on the Palm, Now let's make it powerful on the Desk Top!

Richard S. Albrecht

This has happened to me on several ocations.  I think it is because
the entry is static as apposed to dynamic.  translation="save your
work :o)"

I am not doing anything terribly surprising with the software, but I too
would love to hear about more fun uses for this tool.

Right now, I am mainly using it as a repository for my reading list.  I had
to mock up my own book database because the MyBooks database got screwed up
and I could never un-screw it.  The basic database it pretty easy to create.
It would be fun to somehow web-enable my database to get book information
(publisher, author, pages, etc) from book wholesalers.  That isn't much in
the way of ThinkDB though.

I keep a simple gift-list in a tdb.  ThinkDB is almost too much for this
application, although it does let me track if and when I've given gifts.

Another simple db is my list of "vitals," like account numbers and what not.
Again, almost overkill, but I can keep adding fields where something like
the MemoPad would become a over-long file.

I have also been considering a database to record my thoughts on technical
readings.  I can almost imagine it in Access, but this quickly exceeds my
capability in ThinkDB.  Has anyone done a database where one can
cross-reference authors and articles?

Hi Everyone,

Here is some thing I have observed,  When creating
a new record in my Meeting Notes db, if I change
applications prior to OKing back to the home
screen, I lose the record I was creating at the

home screen.  Has anyone else had this happen?  I
may be missing an option setting but I don't think
so.

I couldn't care less if somebody writes a "me too" mail.  As long as
they don't write insults or scream.  Obviously people will reply to a
friendly person helping them out.  It's all about your opinion not
how organized your mailing list looks.  You don't like it?  I'm sorry

Good morning all,

First a note on etiquette.  I belong to several
email lists that are very helpful but have had to
switch to digest mode on one due to the traffic,
much of which is irrelevant in the context of the
list.  Unfortunately I am not able to respond as
quickly with help when there is something i have
experience with.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a
little mindless banter like anyone else but it
seems to me things like the notification would be
better off in the forum at the thinkingbytes
site.  For those of us that get way too much mail
as it is, it helps to keep the lists on topic.

See, mindless banter, I told you I like it too!
Now on to how I have used the product...

The application I use the most is a meeting note
database I created  The note pad just didn't do it
for me.  Here are my fields:

     Description
     CreateDate
     MeetingDate
     Keywords
     Project

It's very basic but it gives me all that I need.
I also created a journal database that I keep
password protected.  I'm looking forward to
hearing what everyone else is doing with this
product.

This is not a problem of the bandwidth of my Internet connection.
My _personal_ time is limited. And I'm not inclined to spend time
with a list if I have to sift through mostly trash for a few
interesting nuggets of information. ThinkDB is just a tool,
albeit a very good one, so it's only a very minor part of my
life. If you have so much time to kill here, good for you,
I've got other things to look after.

<rant>
I've spend ten years on Internet mailing lists. I've seen what
happened when the unwashed masses without any clue destroyed the
Usenet.

     http://www.usenet2.org/

If I seem mad at the world to you, it's because I know what we
have lost.

It is still spotty when you join tables.  Sometimes data will be
blank in the receiving list and you'll have to click twice to see
it.

Some things I use it for:
-I use it for my company timesheet.
-I kept track of the pictures I took on a vacation i had.
-I keep all my IOU's on it.
-I secured an account file for my passwords.
-The reporting and filtering is the best part of the program.  You
can catorgorize and filter to your hearts content, right down to the
specific information you need.

Things it shouldn't be used for:
-Ask yourself, Would i ever edit this list on the fly and if not them
maybe i should just make a document? EG My cd's and tapes.  Hello
memo pad!  Or QEDIT is another awsome editor for docs.
-Trying to SQL style databasing doesn't work.  Don't even attempt
it.  for some reason Palm developers have mixed the word database
with spreadsheet.  If i ever see a SQL database program i would
snatch it in a second.

If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask, comment,
sneer, "ME TOO!", etc...

Anyone care to discuss how they're using thinkDB for business or
personal use? We're evaluating it as a means of handling client
information on a PALM Vx.

By the way, I only got one welcome message.

Then don't read them

I couldn't care less if somebody writes a "me too" mail.  As long as
they don't write insults or scream.  Obviously people will reply to a
friendly person helping them out.  It's all about your opinion not
how organized your mailing list looks.  You don't like it?  I'm sorry
to hear you have to click through all these notes.  Maybe get
something faster than a 2400 baud and you won't be so mad at the
world.

Anybody can "ME TOO" my e-mails whenever they want.  I like to hear
others opinions.

Guten Abend.

I quickly unsubscribed from a number of eGroups mailing lists
for Palm OS software, e.g. DateBk, because most of the users
there lacked basic mailing list manners. It's very difficult
to justify spending time with a mailing list if you have to
deal with a large number of clueless users writing "me too"
mails and unable to quote only the necessary parts.

In my not so humble opinion it's essential that new subscribers
get an e-mail with e.g. the following articles by Adam Engst
who allows using his writing for this purpose (with appropriate
attribution of course):

So Joseph,

Do we have to wait until 1000 people subscribe to this e-mail or do i
get my free palm now?

P.

Did you sign up for other e-groups?  When you signed up for ThinkDB e-group,
did you select any of the other checkboxes?  These were more e-groups and
you were welcomed to each one individually.

I received quite a few too, but they were different groups.
