Chapter 3 | Connecting to your desktop PC | 55 PIM data translation You can translate only one file at a time. To translate multiple PIM data files, you need to repeat the Translation operation for each file separately. To translate appointment data 1. Double-click the HP PIM Translation Utility icon to start the program. 2. In the Welcome screen, click Appointments. 3. Specify the appointment data file to translate in the Open File dialog box that appears, and then click OK. If the file you specify is not a PIM database file of the appropriate type, you will get an error message. 4. In the Appointment Book Translation Note screen, click OK. The Data Translation Progress screen appears, showing the progress of current translation activity. 5. When the translation is complete, a message appears. Click OK to return to the Welcome screen. Limitation on appointment translation Although the Appointment Book applications on the HP 100LX/200LX palmtop PCs and HP OmniGo 100/120 organizers and the Calendar application on the HP Palmtop PC support daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly repeated events, the Schedule+ application supports only daily and yearly repeated events. Because all translation goes through Schedule+, there is no direct mapping from earlier HP Palmtop products to Schedule+ for repeating weekly and monthly events. As long as you do not edit imported repeating weekly or monthly events in Schedule+ before you synchronize them with the HP Palmtop PC, they will translate correctly into repeating events on the palmtop PC. If, however, you edit them in Schedule+, they lose their weekly/monthly attribute and are treated as single events.

Limitation on appointment translation
Although the Appointment Book applications on the
HP 100LX/200LX palmtop PCs and HP OmniGo 100/120
organizers and the Calendar application on the HP Palmtop
PC support daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly repeated
events, the Schedule+ application supports only daily and
yearly repeated events. Because all translation goes through
Schedule+, there is no direct mapping from earlier
HP Palmtop products to Schedule+ for repeating weekly and
monthly events. As long as you do not edit imported repeat-
ing weekly or monthly events in Schedule+ before you
synchronize them with the HP Palmtop PC, they will
translate correctly into repeating events on the palmtop PC.
If, however, you edit them in Schedule+, they lose their
weekly/monthly attribute and are treated as single events.
