Need to view .DAT file in Windows 7

I saw this question here before but it was unanswered., How do I load a DAT file on my Windows 7 Palm software? I desperately need my address book. Is there a program to convert it to the file type that this program wants to see? HELP!
Post relates to: Palm Pilot

Even though I've been updating my Beta versions (now in FF 8), I just noticed this stupidity now, because most of the time I still use FF 3.6. (Bring back the d*%n Status Bar! Then I'll use the new versions regularly.)
After more than 7 years of having "Page Source" be the most useful thing in the View menu (since at least version 0.8 back in 2004), these numbskulls decide that the View menu shouldn't provide '''''all the viewing options available?'''''

Adobe Reader is needed to view these files

Hi,
I have a website that I enter pdf files too to show results. However, when someone goes to view the results page it asked "Adobe Reader is needed to view these files. Click here to download it." After it has downloaded and installed and I go back to the results page, the same message appears.
The webpage is: http://clayshooting2000.co.uk/results.php
Has anyone got any advice?
Thanks,
James

I believe nothing is wrong but the site is very confusing. Whoever wrote the page expected a collection of results to be on the page as well, so the message would make sense: here are some results, to view them you will need Reader (if you don't have it). But in fact there aren't any results at the moment (perhaps clearing the decks for the new season).

I need sample basic data file containing Product,Market,Measures etc

I need sample basic data file containing Product,Market,Measures etc to load data in to Sample Basic applications. Where can I get this?

As I am the World Domain Lead for Sample.Basic (this is a joke, btw, it's sort of like being King of my front stoop, and besides, I just made it up) I will note two things about CALCDAT.TXT.
1) It is not in columnar format, but instead in Essbase free-form data load format as user2571802 notes. This means if you take a look at it with a text editor, it's a bit confusing to read till you realize that it contains all dimensional information in the data file itself. See the DBAG's section on [Data Sources That Do Not Need A Rules File|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_dbag/ddlintro.htm#ddlintro1029529].
2) CALCDAT.TXT contains level 0 and calculated results. Just load it -- there's no need to calculate it.

Ho to view dbx files in Windows 7?

I have installed Windows 7. This package standard program, I did not find Outlook Express. I have many save the file dbx, how do I open or import to another format?

MyhamedAlistran:
In Windows 7, there are no programs that can open or view your file dbx. You can Download and install Windows Live Mail and Import Outlook Express data. Further Export the data from Windows Live Mail to Outlook.
You need to import the .dbx files and open them as e-mails or open them with an application such as the following DBX Viewer Tool:

Viewing iMovie file with Windows Media Player

Is it possible to convert an iMovie file to allow viewing on a PC with Windows Media Player? Unable to use Quicktime on the PC due to unique reason while on mission.

I have a similar problem, which is that I want a Windows user to be able to view my iMovie file using Windows Media Player. I have Flip4Mac on my Mac but isn't that for converting the other way around - for viewing a Windows Media Player file on a Mac?
Sorry, I see that there is a Studio version that allows conversion to wmv - I only had the free basic version for Flip4Mac - should have looked more closely at the website!

Why Can I No Longer View .PSD Files In Windows?

Recently, I installed PS CS3 10.0 Extended on my PC. It replaced PS CS3 10.0.1 Extended, a version which was not mine. Before the change, I was able to 'view' the .PSD files in Windows. Now, all I am able to view is the icon.
I addressed this in the Microsoft forums, to no avail, as of yet.
Is this an issue with Windows or, perhaps, a setting in PS? I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.
Sincerely,
Su Hall

Su,
The display of PSD's in Windows is related to the psicon.dll (think that is the correct name). It was included for years in PS, but was discontinued, due to troubles at about the time of XP. At one time, the user could get a copy of that .dll, and install it, however at a point in the past, that trick stopped working for most users. Not sure why you had the Thumbnails for a while, but not now. My guess is that the .dll was removed, or corrupted.
I just use other utilities, like Bridge, and ThumbsPlus, and seldom have my View Option set to Thumbnails in Windows.
Good luck,
Hunt
BTW - what OS are you on?

Need to read data files originally created in LabVIEW in C++

I have originally created binary files in LabVIEW. These files are made by flattening labview data to a string, then converting the string to a U8 byte array which is then saved to a binary data file. A separate file is used to keep track of the variables written to the data file. (FAT) a 2D-String array (first element = variable name, 2nd element = staring byte location in .dat file, 3rd element = byte length of variable) is flattened to U32 and then written to a binary file.
Opening the files in LabVIEW follows the inverse proceedure. The FAT file is read as a U32 binary data, converted to a byte array, converted to a string, and then unflattened from the string into a LabVIEW 2D-string data type. From this the starting location and length of the variable is extracted. These are used to read the data file, in U8, which is then converted bu a string and then unflattened to LabVIEW data according to the LabVIEW data type.
I now need to now open these files in a Linux environment using C++. I am at a loss at how to emulate all of this data-type conversion, flattening, and unflattening in C++. Does anyone have any ideas?

I gathered that. But reading through the description gave me the
impression that a few conversions/typecasts may actually be superfluous
without any change to the actual data.

Well, it really isn't that difficult, it just won't be a one hour job
for sure. A few guidelines:
1) LabVIEW flattened data contains the actual data as is for all fixed
size elements (scalars and clusters of scalars). Any variable sized data
(strings, arrays) is prepended with an int32 for each dimension
containing the number of elements for that dimension.
2) LabVIEW flattened data is always in Big Endian (Most significant Byte
first) format. This means for normal C(++) programs developed on an x86
system you will have to byteswap every single 16 bit and 32 bit integer.
3) LabVIEW Typecast really is similar to Flattened data but no
prepending of the number of elements is done for variable sized data.
And Typecast can't convert any type containing variable sized data, but
any arbitrary complex datatype only containing fixed size data, or a
simple array or string can be typecasted.

Boot Camp And Viewing\Editing Files From Windows

I just ordered Leopard and I'm going to putting it on my 20 Imac next weekend. My plans are to install Windows Vista home premium through boot camp. Is there a way to access files from Windows on Leopard and vice-versa? I have MS Office for Mac and Windows and I do photo editing and it would be nice to access and edit files as needed whatever OS I'm without having to reboot. Some kind of third party software available for this? Parallels is OUT OF THE QUESTION for me. I tried it a few months ago and it was nothing but a nightmare. Left me with a really bad taste for it.
Thanks.

Thanks Kappy,
I did a quick look at MacDrive and looks like what I was wanting. Will download the trial after my transition. Another question: When I install and setup Boot Camp will there be an option to format the partition in NTFS or does it do it by default?
Thanks again for the tip on MacDrive. I've only had this Mac for about 6 months and just learning what is probably old news to you.

How can i view data files and print them?

I'm collecting very large data files with the DAQ. Afterwards I'd like to be able to view them (zooming in and out and scrolling) then print when I get a view I like. How can I do this? Is there code out there already? What are some ways of easily visualizing large data files without using tons of PC memory and waiting for every data point to load?

There are some basic techniques that are useful in this sort of application. First, to get an overview of an entire dataset, a good place to start is to read in the file 20 or 30 samples at a time. As you read each block, perform an average and only plot the average. This on-the-fly decimation allows you to see very large blocks of data without bogging down you system.
Second, for the zoom function use the cursors. When the user selects an area to zoom in on, read just the values between the indices the user selects. If the selection is small enough you can display the data directly, otherwise you can decimate it as before-though probibly using a smaller block size.
For reading the position of the cursors, use property nodes.
The basic thing to rem
ember is that most PC screens are at most a couple thousand pixels wide. This video resolution places an absolute limit on the number of datapoints that you will be able to see without aliasing. In general it's better to decimate the data yourself than to let the video card do it.
Let me know if you have any specific questions

Tungsten T3 - need to access DAT file with addresses - Please Help

I have an old Palm Tungsten T3. The desktop computer with the synced address data has died and the T3 has lost power (so no addresses anymore).
I have a .DAT file backup with all my addresses. Can anyone advise how I can get access to these.
Reinstalling Palm Desktop 4.1.4e did not help as it doesn't allow me to import .DAT files.
Can I import this file into any other app or open up in Excel etc?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Post relates to: Tungsten T3
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You have to physically copy the .dat file into the User directory over the existing address.dat file. Find the one with your hotsync name abbreviated (i.e. - C:/Program Files/Palm (or PalmOne)/ your Hotsync name /address) and copy the .dat file there.
Be sure you copy the file and keep another one safe in case something goes wrong. The existing blank address.dat file will be only about 2k in size.
Good luck!

Providing users the ability to Merge using a DAT file under Windows 7

Hello,
Our organization uses older software that uses Word Templates with Merge Fields, pulling data out of a SQL database. The software itself is old and out of date, but still works under Windows 7. The problem I am having is that the software will
place its own macros inside of Normal.dot to properly merge fields using the Word Templates.
Each Merge document accesses the application folder and goes into a sub-folder to access a file called WORDDATA.DAT that is the data source for the merge. Each workstation has their own WORDDATA.DAT file stored locally in C:\APPLICATION\temp\
In XP (we never used Vista), the proper way to get these merges to work was to do the following:
1. Provide Power Users (see below) with Modify rights to the main APPLICATION folder and propagate those rights down to all files underneath of it (including WORDDATA.DAT). We also had to remove inheritable permissions from the root drive (C).
2. Add Domain Users to Power Users group (for some reason the merges on XP would not work without this) so that anyone logging onto the machine could merge.
3. These templates required the Low security setting for macros in Word for the merge to work properly.
The problem I am facing now is that I cannot get the merges to work properly under Windows 7 Pro without giving the user Administrator rights on the local machine. This is obviously not a good idea. No matter what I try, nothing seems to work.
I've disabled UAC on these machines. Given Full Control rights to the application folder and all sub-folders and have even gone so far as to make the user the Owner of the application folder. But no matter what I do, the merge will not work unless
the user is added to the local Administrators group. I've also noticed strange behavior with WORDDATA.DAT, where it will not relinquish the Read-Only attribute. After running 'attrib' and stripping it of Read-Only and System attributes, the file
reverts to showing Read-Only in the properties. I don't know if this matters or not, but it appears as if Windows will not let anyone modify that file completely.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a workaround? Keep in mind, 1. Disabled UAC, 2. Running the application under Compatibility Mode for XP.
I realize we are using outdated software and this can cause some issues of course, but the basic principle of merging documents works. It has nothing to do with the application itself IMO but seems to be more of a security issue.

I guess I'm completely out of luck on this issue huh? The basics of the problem are simply that unless the user is added to Administrator local group on the Win7 machine, when the merge runs and has to use WORDDATA.DAT, it cannot and the merge fails.
Add the user as an admin and it works but this leaves our systems vulnerable, particularly with users who are happy to just double-click on any old attachment without checking it first.
