AccuScan Settings [Backup]

Note: Enabling these backup options can slow down your HotSync process considerably, since each time you HotSync a copy of the selected databases is made on your PC. You may want to enable these options, then HotSync, then disable them again once you have the copies made.

Backup Session Data

When this option is selected, the actual session configuration is backed up to your Palm Desktop backup location. An example of the location and filename for this option is C:\Program Files\Palm\[username]\backup\TRPP-AccuScan Palm_Sessions.pdb where:

C:\Program Files\Palm = Palm Desktop install location

[username] = The PDA username of the current PDA.

TRPP-AccuScan Palm_Sessions.pdb =The Palm database containing session configuration information.

Backup Drop-down Lists

When this option is selected, any drop-down list databases used on the PDA are saved to the Palm Desktop backup location for the current user. The filename for this database is TRPP-List_SxxFyy.pdbwhere:

xx= the Session number of the current session

yy= the Field number of the backed up list.

Note: Field Type must be set to Drop-Down List for the list database to take effect.

Backup Field Hints

When this option is selected, any created field hints are saved to the Palm Desktop backup location for the current user. The filename for this database is TRPP-Hint_Sxx.pdbwhere:

xx = the Session number of the current session
