I am a new axim user, and apparently have downloaded too many large programs to my main memory, would like to move them to SD card and free up space on PDA, can someone help?

One way is you find the program using expolrer in ActiveSync and cut/paste the folder to your memory card. You would then have to recreate the shortcut found in the programs folder. Sometimes this works, sometimes this doesn't. The other option, (and better, IMO) is you uninstall the program and reinstall it selecting the proper place this time.

Good Luck~ and Welcome to AximSite!

Thanks for the help and advice, perhaps you know if the spb 3.0 today plug-in can be downloaded to Sd card? Am truly trying to learn this, not totally knowledgable about all the functions yet

Yes, Spb 3.0 and above can be installed to a memory card. I run mine form my CF card and it works fine. You will get a message on your Axim when you install it there telling you it may or may not work, but on the Axims it works fine.

Just FYI, if you have not seen them there are some very good tutorials under the resources tab up top. Including ones on how the Memory works and how to Add/Remove programs. Good Luck~

I also heard SPB Plus could be moved. I wrote their customer support & they stated it was still recommended that the software remain in the main memory. So I did not move mine.

If you do plan to move the program I would do a backup of the settings in SPB Plus & then uninstall. Reinstall to your sd card.

Absolute cheesiest way: file explorer, cut, paste.
Then remove any shortcuts or links to the old files, copy the executables and paste shortcuts into Windows/Start Menu/Programs (in the main menu).
Hey, that's how I do it. Dirty but effective, but not for every application. Most simpler applications work, though.

and I feel that is most likely not true. But good luck anyway.

As for installing to a storage card, it is listed as one of the new "features" of Pocket Plus 3. Like I said, I have had no issues with it being installed to a memory card. Unless you count having more free main memory as an issue. Good Luck~
