I was wondering if anyone here is using the UpToDate medical software with
Windows Mobile 5 (http://www.uptodate.com). I can't seem to get it working.
I have installed the patch from UpToDate that is supposed to make it work
with WM5, but I get no icon on my device for UpToDate. The data seems to be
installed on my SD card, but I can't access it. I am using an Axim X51v.

Medgirl,

Have you contacted uptodate to see if they can offer some support on this?

I've done a quick look through the newsgroups archive and didn't see
anything related to it.

Regards,

I have emailed them, but, being the weekend, I haven't heard anything back
yet.

I got it to work with additional instructions sent to me by UpToDate. I
have pasted their email below:

Thank you for contacting UpToDate. We will need to copy some files to your
PDA to create the shortcut icon for you.



1.. Place Pocket PC CD 1 into the CD-ROM drive
2.. Place the PDA into the cradle and ensure ActiveSync is connected
3.. Remove the memory card from the PDA
4.. Double-click the My Computer icon
5.. Right-click the CD-ROM drive icon and choose the Open option
6.. Double-click the Bin folder
7.. Double-click the install2003 folder
8.. Single-click the file uptodate.Arm 1100 (4K) v3.00.CAB
9.. Go to the Edit menu and select Copy
10.. Close all open windows
11.. Double-click the My Computer icon
12.. Double-click the Mobile Device icon
13.. Double-click the My Pocket PC icon
14.. Go to the Edit menu and select Paste
At this point you may be asked you wish to convert the files by Microsoft
ActiveSync. Yes is the appropriate answer.

15.. Close all open windows


Repeat this process for the file named msvbppc.armv4.CAB. Once completed go
to the Pocket PC to run the two CAB files that were copied over previously.



1.. Go the Start menu and select Programs
2.. Tap the File Explorer icon
3.. In the upper left pull-down menu choose the My Device option


In this location the two files that we copied earlier will be present. Tap
on each file in turn to run that part of the installation. Answer Yes to
any questions that are asked. Once completed soft reset the Pocket PC and
the Program part is now installed.
