I am looking for an inexpensive but reasonably featured PIM for my (non-task related) home use. I use MLO for task management and I use Outlook for work. I came across WinPIM and it looks promising. It seems like it has reasonable set of features and also has the ability to sync with Outlook as...
After using a couple of different tools for list management, I could not find any that fit well with my style and most of them have very limited printing capabilities and were sluggish. So I have moved on to the next evolution of creating my own solution. Version 1.x is based on MS Access and then...
One of my Someday/Maybe items coming up is to sort out my music collection. I've not been happy for some time with my music collection for several reasons: - it takes lots of space - I get tired of my CD's and don't tend to listen to them all that regularly now - they cost me a lot of money...
Does anyone out there know if would work for me to move my iTunes Music Folder off of my computer and then reload it back on--without problems? I want to copy it onto an external hard drive temporarily but I'm nervous that trying to get it back onto my machine will create problems. I would...
Hi, I've just upgraded from ACT 2000 to ACT Standard 8. I have five users accessing and sharing the same database. Does anyone know how I can simply and quickly copy the design layouts and fields from one users computer to another? In ACT 2000 I could copy and paste the layouts folder from one...
I had my outlook calendar set up to show my Tasks arranged by Category. I somehow have changed the view to all tasks alphabetically. How do I reset my calendar view to show all tasks by category? Under my Tasks tab, it does show them in their correct categories so I havent deleted that, its just in...
Is anyone using MyLifeOrganized and syncing the desktop version and the Pocket PC version yet?
MLO just issued its PocketPC edition and I am going to try using a PocketPC again. I know that Agenda Fusion and Pocket Informant have both had upgrades since a few years ago when I tried them out and did a little research. Which one do you prefer using and why? I am planning on using MLO,...
A friend just showed me this "thing" called PocketMod ( pocketmod.com ). It is a free website where you create your own one-page printout that can serve as your evening module. You select how your pocketmod will look then send it to your printer. Then you follow the instructions to fold and make...
I have upgraded my Outlook in my office PC and because of a change in where the files sit I needed to reinstall my entries in my Blackberry calendar onto Outlook. However, it reads the 1700 entries in the handheld, but only imports 79 to Outlook. :-x Does anyone know why is this? I have tried...
As reported in Eric Mack's blog http://www.ericmackonline.com/: I thought that Palm platform is dead but recent Treo 700p reviews are encouraging. The most interesting fact is that PalmOS based Treo 700p seems to be superior to the Windows based Treo 700w.
I wanted to share some code to allow Access to fetch a task list from Outlook, even if the tasks contain user-defined fields. The built-in export command in outlook works only on the standard fields and will not export user-defined fields. I use the add-in and it has user-defined fields. I use...
My current employer doesn't allow me to sync a PDA with my company laptop so I reverted back to using a Filofax a couple of months ago having used a PDA previously for a number of years. I'm having issues with the Filofax in terms of tracking repeating appointments/tasks along with enjoying using...

Does anyone know of a software program that will allow you to use your courser or pointer to select text and have it automatically input that text into a Word or Excel document? Such that, if you had your screen split with a PDF document and Word you could "highlight" the text on the PDF and...
At work, I am switching from a Mac (where I use the Entourage project center to manage GTD) to a PC, where I plan to use the Outlook Add-In. I've added in a number of my projects, and related next actions as tasks. Even though the NetCentric documentation shows tasks grouped by project, I can't for...
My company's now using Lotus Notes R6 and I can't for the life of me find a way to sync Dataviz Inbox to Go with the new version (hangs up on authentication - won't recognize or even acknowledge the correct password when entered). I used to be able to compose email offline and sync when convenient...
Hi I’m currently running a Zire 31. At work, I keep my projects and NAs on my PC in Microsoft Excel. Is there an Excel application that I can run on my Zire so that I can hotsync my lists into it? Thanks all.
I have been testing beta 2 of ON 2007 and it has the makings of a near-perfect GTD app for me. The new features which make the new version GTD-friendly in my eyes are: 1) Much easier navigation between sections/pages/notebooks 2) True integration with Outlook. I create a new Page for each of my...
I’m looking for a desktop search utility. I know there have been numerous threads on this topic in this forum, but the most recent one that deals specifically with desktop search utilities was nearly a year ago, even though this has been a very active area of software development. Copernic and X1...
