Get started with nutritions

<< < (2/4) > >>

I have a pocket pc and can not get the nutrition data to sync.  I am not sure what to point the PPC-Data-Folder to on my windows client?  I currently have it to: C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\

and use ActiveSync to sync.  But I keep getting the message that I have to sync the data.  I hit the sync button in the windows client SiDiary and have also resynced my PPC a few times.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim...

Hi Tim,

did you select any nutritions from the nutrition window on the desktop? There is an additional sync button which creates the appropriate files needed for the pocket pc. No need to copy the files manually to any location after getting started with nutritions on the desktop... :)

Cheers, Alf.

Yes, I selected and checked the boxes to sync the nutritions.  As a test, I cleaned out the nutrition file and have two entries in it.  Since it is small, here it is:

ID;Producer;Type;Description;Unit;CarbsPerUnit;FatPerUnit;ProtPerUnit;GI;PPC;LastChange;
1;@H1;@T24;Austin Cheese Crackers with Peanut Butter;6 crackers;23;10;4;;1;2005.03.29 08:02:07
2;@H1;@T21;Chipotle Flour Tortillas, 13-Inch;1;54;9;9;;1;2005.03.29 10:57:56

I click the sync button after saving and get the message:

On the mobile devices there are now 2 nutritions from the 1 producers in 2 categories available.

This updates/creates 4 files on my laptop in the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync" directory:

Type.dat
SiDiaryDataMustRefresh.rem
Producer.dat
Nutrition.dat

I then turn on my pocket pc and connect it to my laptop, it syncs according to ActiveSync.  But whenI then open SiDiary on the pocket PC I get the message that the nutrition database is not on my pocket pc.

That is why I am wondering if the PPC Data Folder is supposed to point directly to the folder on my PPC and if I have to have it connected and turned on for the sync to work?  Or maybe I have something else not set up right.

Many thanks for the help,

Tim...

ok, I got it to work.  I checked my Active Sync settings and was not syncing the files.  So I set that up and then put that directory in the SiDiary location.  Now it works.

I am unable to download the SiDiary manual, the English version.  Not sure if that would have helped.

Thanks for getting back to me earlier.

ok, since I got it working, I have a question.  When I use it on the pocket pc, it doesn't show me any of the nutrition values.  It does on my laptop.

It would be nice if you selected a Carbohydrate cell/grid and then when you hit the food lookup button and selected an item it would add the carbs to that entry, :).
