Hi all,
I am an absolute beginner with PDA`s and have just bought a 4700...
My question is how do I run programmes from an sd card ?.......how do I copy the programme from the main Pc onto the card and then from the card to the 4700 and then run the programme ?...
Please do remember I am a complete beginner so really basic instructions would be appreciated.......
Thanks for the help and the patience..

Sheesh, its alright for some... coming into the scene with the best device out there!

To install an application to SD you need to install it via Active Sync. When it asks you "Do you want to install this to the main storage? (Yes/ No)" - hit "No" then it will give you a dropdown combo box of available locations. Select "SD Card" then hit okay... and it should be installed! You cant (usually) just move the application because the registry won't reflect the changes.

Hi Traveller1. Welcome to the forum. It looks like ShALLaX got you fixed up with your first set of questions. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more. Enjoy the site.

Traveller1, congratulations on the purchase (good choice! ).

Just think of your SD card as a removable hard drive - when it's in your PPC you can browse it, run programs from it, save files to it etc but you can also put it in to a card reader (e.g. one connected to your PC) and copy across files, pictures etc.

Any other questions, queries etc just ask and we will come running!

Congrats on your purchase, I have enjoyed mine and have had no regrets. Although I lurk more than post I have found this site a GREAT resource.

That was my first question when I got a PPC. I hope you got all through. What size SD card are you using? I am just curious. :P

Thanks Guys for all the comments and much appreciated ..being a mere academic things do not come to quickly to my brain!!......I have just ordered a 512mb card and hopeful that will be okay....I also want to run my gps from it if possible (Haicom GPS and Navigator 4 software) which runs fine on my laptop and guess i shall have to put the maps on to a card?..............

Again many thanks for the welcome and help.

Nice size. Yep you can basically install anything on your card. Except for apps that dont allow you too. Such apps like SPB PocketPlus must be installed to RAM. I have MS Pocket Streets and I have all the maps on my SD Card.
