Mad Loosing Contacts

I continue to not be able to access my contacts. Have had my Axim for about two months and have done about 10 hard resets. I can access contacts for a while but then when I am out and really need to access them I cannot, it just happened again today.

If I synch after the hard reset the Contacts lock up, cannot access them at all, thru any avenue.

So I have ordered a replacement two weeks ago and Dell says that it is in production.

Is there anything I can do to allow access of my contacts? Has anyone had the same problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

Tks, Ed

Never had a problem with contacts. You mentioned Hard Reset, but did you try a soft reset? Sometimes that helps with programs that seem to die.

I thought I had tried that before. I did the soft reset and it worked. Thanks. Why does this happen anyway? Just all of a sudden I cannot get into contacts.

Great site and it's just getting better.

Switcher is a brute force close of the application. It's almost a Ctrl-Alt-Del that leaves things hanging. I never use it, so I never associate it with a problem. Good catch, E B.

Had the same thing happen to my contacts. Turned it on last night and couldn't access the contact database and or add a new contact. Tried the soft reset and it worked. I do note that I used the switcher bar yesterday which, as someone else has suggested, may have contributed to the lock out.

Eagle,

I think Icbar and Wisbar are the favorite freeware programs that can be used for closing programs. A lot of people on the site also use Battery Pack.
