Notice to LifeDrive and Palm TX users - In order to have your Palm sync correctly when using Addit software, you will need to disable Addit. Addit has caused problems when used with Palm's Quick Install (click here to see Palm's report on this subject). The problem is not caused by eKnit-Kards or Satellite Forms (our engine).

eKnit-Kards Desktop is a powerful Windows based program that runs on your desktop or laptop computer. It synchronizes with your Palm PDA (you must own a license for the Palm version as well in order for this to work completely).

The release of our Desktop version fills a badly needed requirement that users had for more easily entering data into eKnit-Kards Palm. It also now makes the program available to non-PDA users.

The program can either be used as a free-standing Windows based program or as a combined Windows - Palm system that syncs data between the two systems. We do not yet have the Pocket PC version available that can sync with the Desktop version. The Pocket PC version will be released during 2006.

Info about how the Desktop affects/installs the Palm version
if a Palm PDA is present
When you install the Desktop program, we automatically install the new Version 2.30 Palm version on your computer. When you Sync for the first time within eKnit-Kards Desktop, we do the following:
bulletWe determine if you have Palm Version 2.30 or higher
bulletIf you have an older version of eKnit-Kards (such as 2.20.03), we transfer all of your data to the Desktop. If you have a version older than 2.20, then upgrade it to 2.20.03 first from this website, then proceed with the Desktop install which will convert 2.20 to 2.30.
bulletWe then replace the files on your Palm with the new Version 2.30.02.
bulletWe then convert your data files to work with the new files format within the Desktop version.
bulletThen we send them back to the Palm.
bulletThere are a total of 6 syncs that must be done during the install of the new files to your Palm. This is a one time process. Thereafter, you simply will do a single sync from within eKnit-Kards Desktop (regular syncs on your Palm will not transfer eKnit-Kards data).
bulletBecause the file structures are different for 2.30.02 Palm from the prior versions, we need to convert your data before you can run under the new 2.30.02 and Desktop structures. We cannot allow users to simply upgrade their 2.20 version to 2.30 because the files structures are different and they must be converted before they will work. If you want to upgrade your Palm to 2.30 then you must install he trial version of our Desktop version which will handle the changeover easily. Users may not run an Update program to upgrade from 2.20 to 2.30 since we have not made one due to the file structure reason we listed above.
bulletALWAYS backup your Palm data before you do a major install like this one just in case something goes wrong.

 

Easier to enter your data.
Now available to PC users as well.
