Hey, that's a great idea! I use, and am a big fan of DateBk5. Any
idea if that and Agendus can reside on the palm in a friendly manner?
Will there be conflicts?

Thanks
Shawn

If you really want to go high end, and can afford the sofware, or
write it off on someone, try Commence (www.commence.com). It has by
far the most computing power of any PIM I've seen. It uses agent
technology so it can look at your data, make decisions you've
progtammed it to make, and process data all kinds of ways. Some simple
examples I use it for:
I have income fields in the category "Appointment". If an appt
generates income, and I don't mark it done after it's due date,
Commence reminds me via pop-up (or any of a number of ways I can
choose) to mark it done. If I fail to invoice for the work, it reminds
me of that, and if I don't get paid in a certain amount of time, it
reminds me that payment is overdue. Once I've created an invoice from
an appointmemnt, another agent creates a letter in Word, based on a
template I've created, using the client's name, address and other info
from the invoice. I don't have to fill in anything in most cases. It
uses the Palm Desktop conduit to import data from my Palm M500, and
processes that data according to rules I've given it. It does a
hundred other things, all without real programming.
It does take a while to get used to, but can do so many things that no
other PIM can come close to. And I've gotten support online in this
forum. There are other Commensers lurking about, willing to help.
Check it out!

I know. They do the same things, sort of, but do them differently.
I use and enjoy DateBk5. I have tried Agendus in the past and liked
DateBk5 better.
But Agendus has a desktop version that I would like to try.
I'm just wondering if DateBk5 and Agendus will co-exist on my E in a
friendly fashion.

Thanks
Shawn

The author of Datebk5 has mentioned in the Yahoo groups that he is
working on a desktop suite for Palm OS6.

I use DateBk5 on my Palm and Agendus for windows on my desktop with no
problems. They are working on a even more powerful version for the
near future.
