Accessing Desktop "address.mdb" & "address.mdb.bak" files

I was using Palm Desktop as my contact mgr on my VISTA PC.
VISTA PC drive crashed, but data was saved and loaded on new PC.
I downloaded & installed Desktop V 6.2.2 on new Windows 7 PC, but the process did not find my old contacts file.
I have located two key files, "address.mdb" and "address.mdb.bak" that are dated just a day before old PC crashed, but I cannot figure out how to load this data into Desktop. Import process does not seem to support the .mdb or .bak formats.
Alternatively, can anyone tell me the name of the file(s) where the Desktop data should be? If I can find those files I might be able to place them in the directory where desktop is looking for them.
Thanks.

Palm Desktop 6.2 is installed on my Vista laptop, and the address.mdb file can be found here:
C:\Users\WyreNut\Documents\Palm OS Desktop\<my Hotsync account name>\address
You might need to create a user name identical to your original HotSync Account name so the proper folder can be found.

Restore Palm Desktop Addresses from last Hot Sync and using those backup files

I have numerous issues. First I have Windows Vista 64 byte which does not allow a USB Hot Sync so I attempted the Wireless Hot Sync and killed my Palm Centro. The information was restores going to the store and they did something. So that is my first issues - I am unable to Hot Sync. However the Hot Sync took place and I have found the 'Back-up' files on my Computer from that Hot Sync Operation.
My new issue is that somehow I lost many addresses on my Palm Desktop Address File and that is a mystery to me.
What I am trying to accomplish now is to restore those missing addresses on my Palm Desktop (Computer Files) using if possible those backed up files from the last Hot Sync as i do not believe I should try the Wireless Hot Sync again since that has failed me twice and my phone dies and it needs to be restored at the Sprint store. I'm not even sure I remember now how exactly that was done....
So, is there a way to restore addresses to my computer Palm Desktop from those back-up files from the Hot Sync? OR does anyone have a solution to actually performing this Wireless Hot Sync without killing my Palm Centro again?
Thank you for any ideas or suggestions to either or both issues.

You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. Using 6.2 the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak. For 6.2, the files are located in the username folder in PalmOSdesktop in my documents.
The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.

The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.

Palm Desktop address file problem

I recently reinstalled Palm Desktop software which is running fine.
But when I try to import address book folder which was previously saved, I get an error message telling me it is "not an address book archive file or is corrupt"
I have tried to import earlier backup copies of the address file but still get the same message.
I can open the file with Windows notepad which shows that the data is still there but its very hard to read.
So is there any way I can fix the file to make it transferrable?
Or, if I have to enter it again manually, can I make the Windows notepad file more readable?
Thank you.

Did you imported address.bak or address.dat?
you can look for those files inside the addressbook folder and type *.* in the import box.. try importing those.

Desktop Address/Calendar empty; Tungsten E2 OK; Sync hangs on Address; dbScan fails

I have Tungsten E2 Palm OS Garnet v. 5.4.7 Palm Desktop v. 6.2.2 Windows XP Home 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600 When I run the Palm ACCESS Desktop, the calendar and address book are blank. When I try to sync, everything starts up fine, but when it gets to step 4 (the Address Book), it freezes and goes no further. I tried resetting both the computer and the Palm to no avail. I then set the conduits involved to go from the handheld to the desktop: no change. I thought I might have a problem with the E2 Address Book database, so I ran cbScan v.2.0b (downloaded when I had a problem a few months ago) and it fails by locking up the E2 with a Fatal Alert windowlet that says: DataMgr.r, Line:8872, DmWrite: DmWriteCheck failed (Reset) and the Reset doesn't work/do anything. I have to do a soft reset from the rear of the unit with the stylus. Once everything is reset, all the calendar and Address Book entries appear to be there. I have zillions, so I haven't looked in all the nooks and crannies. I've had a Palm since 1998, so things have accumulated. I do have some backups on the SD card with BackupMan v.2.3. This is all I can think of to submit. Any help?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

I had stated that the free version only detects and does not repair errors. See the statement in RED below.
There may be database corruption causing the issue. Click on the following link for the program called DbFixiT. This program has a trial version that you can download and install on your Palm OS device. The trial version will scan for database corruption and then report the corruption. You can then find the records causing the problem and fix them yourself or you can purchase the program and have it automatically fix the records.
I am not aware that it deletes the record. If that is what it states then you don't want to delete them.
Did you scan for calendar blobs?
I don't have any corruption in my DB on my T5 so I have never actually used the program to fix any records. I am not sure if it deletes the entire record or fixes the issue with the record.
Did you look at the reported error dates and look on the calendar?
Did you see anything wrong with the entry for those dates?
You could try restoring the DB on your card but if it is not current, you will lose the data on your E2 that is not backed up to the card. Like you stated, it may have the corruption in the backup also.
Sorry, I am not aware of any other programs that may help resolve your issue with the corruption.

How to repair Datebook.dat and Address.dat files on a PC?

Hi again,
Waiting I can install again the Palm Desktop on my new laptop (see my previous post), I tried to recover my data from Datebook.dat and Address.dat files on another machine (also PC XP Pro). The Palm Desktop program installation went well but:
Any data older than 2 years (address and agenda) are correctly read, but the newer ones look empty. Actually I already changed of laptop 2 years ago, and I had to move the Datebook and Address files to be able to open them with the Palm Desktop. After that I had no problem and all my data were read (old and new ones).
I opened the Datebook.dat and Address.dat files with the PC notepad, and I could see some data from 2 weeks ago, thus they are not lost. So I guess the old and new records are not exactly formatted in the same way, and for a strange reason, the Palm Desktop cannot read the newer ones.
I forgot to tell you my Palm 515 is dead (so I cannot Hotsync with the new laptop), and my former laptop HDD crashed (so I cannot run the Palm Desktop on it anymore).
That's why I'm looking for a PC program able to "repair" Datebook.dat and Address.dat files. I read on several forums that DBscan and DBfix could do the job for me, but they run on PalmOS, and I don't have a Palm anymore...
A program extracting the data to a CVS file could be OK (even if I have to spend some time on Excel later on), but it must understand the old and the new records.
Thanks for any help you could bring me.
Christophe

No, this doesn't look like stack overflow.
Stack overflow usually happens with recursive functions that call each other
so many times that they exhaust the memory available for the stack. These
are easy to spot from the stack trace; you can see many many frames.
There's is a related problem, buffer overflow unto the stack.
If you have a local array and you write past the end of it you may
write unto your stack. Often what you write over is the return address
so the problem manifests itself when the current function tries to
return. Often, in these cases you cannot get a good stack trace.
That is not the case here either.
the clue to what is the case here is the tell-tale segv happening in malloc code:
[2] t_delete(), at 0xf6d54d40
[3] realfree(), at 0xf6d54954
[4] cleanfree(), at 0xf6d551dc
[5] mallocunlocked(), at 0xf6d54334
[6] malloc(), at 0xf6d54224
A bug in malloc? No.
This is usually a sign of the following:
Your code has written past one of the objects you have allocated and
overwritten mallocs own data structures. As a result, at some later
point in time, when malloc accesses those data structures it bombs.
Debugging these is hard since the symptom may occur quite a while
after the overwriting has happenned.
However, all is not lost. Runtime Memory Checking may help you.
Bring up The Properties dialog of the project you are debugging.
Select the Advanced->RuntimeMemoryChecking category.
Check "Enable RTC While Debugging" and then debug your application.
You will get reports of possible memory violations.

Lost address book, found file named AddressBook.data.previous

My address book is gone. I found AddressBook.data.previous in Application Support under my account, but I can't open it and can't drag it to the Application. Any help? Is this my missing data?
Best to all.

With the Address Book application quit and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Application Support > AddressBook > AddressBook.data.previous.
If there is an Address Book.data file, move this to the Desktop. Change the name of AddressBook.data.previoius to AddressBook.data
Say a quick prayer of cross your fingers and launch Address Book.
If your contacts are not available, now is the time to start maintaining a backup or if you do, start including Address Book data with your backup which is quite easy.
As the menu bar, go to File and select Back Up Address Book. The default name for the backup file is Address Book - (and the date). A very easy process.
If you need to recover all contacts from this backup, at the menu bar go to File and select Revert to Address Book Backup selecting the backup file.
Before making a large number changes/edits, deletions or additions to existing data, update your backup file immediately beforehand.

Remove address bar from file explorer (using regsitry)

This used to be possible in 2008, but I haven't been able to figure out how it's done in 2012 R2. The old method was to add a key under IE, and it would also remove the address bar from windows explorer - but this method
no longer works. So is anybody aware of what key needs to be changed or modified in order to make this happen. Further, ideally this change would happen in HKCU.
Thanks

Hi,
>>That would seem to remove run from start menu, not the address bar from file explorer.
Yes, this setting will disable Run.exe. However, this setting will also prevent users from accessing local or network resources by typing the accessing paths in the address bar of File Explorer.
I am not completely sure why you want to remove the address bar in File Explorer. However, if our target is to restrict users from accessing network resources by UNC path, in my opinion, enabling this setting a better way to go.
In addition, regarding this topic, the following thread can also be referred to for more information.

Accessing MSAccess DB mdb from java program deployed on Unix

Could someone provide the solution for connecting MSAccess DB which is on a Windows Server
from a java web application deployed on weblogic in Unix platform.
Basically i would like to know how we can get access to the mdb file on windows.
jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:/employee.mdb;DriverID=22;READONLY=true"
Im using sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver.

Thanks for the reply ..
This url given works perfectly for a java appln in windows as the .mdb path (c:/employee.mdb or from a shared drive \\shared\employee.mdb) is understood by the appln
But my java application in Unix wants to call AccessDB in Windows.
I wanted know how we can connect from java appln in Unix to an Access DB which is in Windows like any other database ie through a hostname port etc. or any other wayBasically you can't.
You can start by reading the following.

There is an update to that post in that now there is a java only commercial (you must pay for it) driver that one can use for MS Access. So that option exists now.

Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine. You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby)

Attempt to access invalid address message

After uninstalling Reader 11 and reinstalling to trouble shoot I still get the same error when I try to open a file "Attemp to access invalid address failed" Not super tech literate, please speak slowly - LOL!

Uninstall again, then run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html before a reinstall (after a reboot). If you are on a MAC, I have no clue. Future questions on Reader should be posted in the Reader forum, this is the Acrobat forum.

Elements 4 "attempt to access invalid address"

I had to re-install Win XP and when I re-installed Elements 4 I can no longer open a .jpg file by right clicking "open with photoshop elements". Instead I get the msg: "attempt to access invalid address".
Assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

After further search on the internet I was able to find out the cause of the problem -- there is a conflict with my anti virus security BitDefender 2010. A solution can be found here: http://forum.bitdefender.com/lofiversion/index.php/t15247.html
Most of the post refer to a problem with Elements 5 and 5.1 but the solution worked for my verison also.

Attempt to access invalid address error after June 2014 updates (All IE Versions)

I don't know if anyone else is having this issue but after the recent patch run by MS this week we are getting a high proportion of users unable to access internet explorer (all versions) on Windows 7 machines.
The error displayed is
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
attempt to access invalid address
This happens when trying to run Internet Explorer short cuts or iexplore.exe directly. I have had a searched around and given the number of users that with the issue I'm surprised if not found more info
Any feedback appricated

Elements 5.02 - Attempt to access invalid address

When I try to launch Photoshop 5.02 the welcome screen is displayed and I can open the Organizer, but when I attempt to open the Quick Fix or the other editor programs I get a dialogue box "Attempt to access invalid address"
This problem is on my profile only as Photoshop works when another user is logged in to the PC ( OS: Vista Home 32bit) and was working ok until a few week ago.
I have tried the following with no success:
Reinstalled the s/w.
Deleing the Photoshop folder from the AppData in my profile folder.
Deleting the Photoshop registry entries from Current User.
Searched the web for a solution
I know that I could delete my profile and create a new one, but I would only do this if all else failed as I would loose other settings just when I have all setup the way I want it.
Could anyone give me any pointers to where I might look to resolve this please.
Thank you. Niall

Make sure your user account has full administrative permissions. Then, at this stage of the game, I would take the following steps:
- Re-create the Preferences file following these instructions:
Re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause.
Note: When you use this solution, Photoshop Elements will create a new preferences file and you will lose custom settings associated with your current preferences file. However, the file you rename in step 2 is your original preferences file. If you determine that the preferences file is not causing the problem, then you can restore your custom settings by undoing the instructions below.
To re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file:
Quit Photoshop Elements.
Locate the Adobe Photoshop Elements preferences files. In Photoshop Elements 5.0, there are two preferences files, one for Organizer and one for Editor:
Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Organizer\psa.prf
Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Editor\Photoshop Elements 5 Prefs.psp
Rename the extension for the files (for example, to psa.old).
Start Photoshop Elements. Photoshop Elements creates a new preferences file.
I doubt that this will fix your problem, however, it is always the first thing to try. If it does not, take these steps:
- Uninstall Photoshop Elements
- Run the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301)
- Reinstall Elements
- Reinstall the 5.0.2 patch
Good luck,
Juergen
