Sorry,
I am not annoyed with you for telling me that 7 will offer more features
for the database. It is actually quite nice to know that. I do like to
know what is and will be available. I was just hoping that people would
understand that keysoft 7 might not be the perfect answer for me, so I
would still really really appreciate information on creating the databases
in versions prior to 7. I'd actually like to have my database created
before 7 comes out whether I buy the upgrade or not.
The extra emoticons and abreviations for emotions were in the message to
tame what I was saying and hopefully to prevent giving offense. I'm sorry
if what I said was still written in a way that would hurt you personally.
My frustrations when expressed are at the way life and technology is not
with the people/organizations helping to provide it. :-) It is more that
it is ironic that the more one spends to upgrade the more expenses become
possible to get everything that will make the new purchase even better, and
I don't expect everyone to stop providing things just because I might not
buy them. Plenty of people will, and since I am trying to be a trainer, I
need to know about them. I also want to have new products and updates to
existing ones.

Hi Sarah,
Well, Pardon me for living. I really am not familiar with your
household finances. I was only trying to help. I'll hold my tongue
next time.

You mean for $200 all my problems will be solved? <grin> Now since I
just payed my $3,000 credit card bill that included my upgrade to MPower
I really don't think the $200 software upgrade will go over well with my
husband, so I suspect I'm stuck with the less optimal trial and error
method of creating my database. I shouldn't save my credit card
information anywhere where I could use it anyway--after all I shouldn't
really spend any more. LOL
I'm already frustrated because my version of Microsoft Office is too old
to allow syncing with my braille note, and to upgrade that cost a lot,
especially to a person like my husband who uses Linux and never spends a
dime to get the latest software, and to me because I don't exactly make
a lot of money.
I just have to be content with being thrilled that browsing with my BN
works great and files open as fast as I could wish. Most of my other
ddreams of what would now be possible have been, if not crushed, at
least slightly damaged. Maybe I'll feel rich some other month. :-)

If you have an M-power, keep watch for 7.0 upgrade which will have Key
Base which should be much easier to create databases of many varying
types. I myself haven't created other databases.

I would like some directions for creating keylist databases. I did
this
in the past for keysoft version 3.6, but I kind of forgot what I did.
I
also was basically using the trial and error method, which I'd rather
not
use again. :-)
I made a database for bank and credit card account information, but I
backed up and removed my database when I sent my braille note in for
upgrade to MPower. I'm sure you all can understand why I did that.
:-)
Now I can't get the database back and I really miss it. I don't mind
entering the data again, but I need to have a database to put it in
first. I tried to just put the old files back in the keylist folder,
but
I got an uninformative message when I tried to switch to that
database. I
believe it said something like "the action was completed successfully"
which was certainly a lie. The database was not present and usable
after
that. No matter what I tried to do with that database I got the same
message and absolutely nothing opened or happened.
I found and downloaded a program that said it was for designing
keysoft
databases, but it is an old DOS program which didn't run successfully
in
Windows XP. I even wonder if the program is supposed to be used to
make
modern keysoft databases. If it is usable for that purpose I can run
it
on an old computer with Windows 98 on it, but I don't want to bother
if
it won't make a database that is usable on a braille note MPower.
Can anyone give me some tips? for that matter, has anyone else made
such
a database they could share. I think it is a great place to keep that
type of information because it is easy to read the information off
with
one hand while entering it on the phone keypad with the other. It is
also
somewhat more secure than other places, because a keysoft database is
a
non-standard file that not just anyone could read easily. It is also
on
a device that can not be used or connected to without your knowledge
if
you keep it with you and aren't connected to activesync at the moment.
Any assistance wil be appreciated.
