X5 day planner software?

aa8wl · 07-28-06, 03:19 PM

I used a Franklin Planner many years ago and I was thinking how nice if I could find some software like that for my X5. Has anyone run across anything like this? TIA for any help. Sam, in Detroit

I am not familiar with outlook.

Pocket outlook is built into your X5. It is the pocket pc version to the desktop application called Miscrosoft Outlook. It is for calendar, email, tasks and notes. When the X5 was sold, one of the disks with it was microsoft outlook that you can install on your desktop and sync email, appointments, contacts, notes, reminders, etc etc, to your axim. I think all new pocket pc's also comes with outlook on the cd as well.

I will did out the CD that Dell sent and check it out. As it is now I do not have this Outlook on the X5. If it's on the Dell CD I will load it and have a look at it. Thanks, Sam

Pocket outlook is built into the X5 rom. It cannot be uninstalled.

under programs, there are shortcuts listed as contacts, calendar, notes and tasks (among the other programs0. These are the pocket outlook programs.

The next release of Pocket Informant will have Franklin Covey methodology built in if that helps.

Not sure I've seen this. Try \\Program Files... Mayby you device is asking for the location to install PI. If that doesn't work or you don't want to do that I'd suggest contacting the PI help desk through their web page. This is a very good program and their help support is good.
