Salvaging a Corrupted APPT.ADB file

If you ever experience a corrupted Appointment Book here's a tip that may save you some heartache and grief.

The Windows based version of the Appointment Book is able to open files that the Palmtop reports as "Record not found". Once opened, you should be able to export the Appointment Book to a new empty .ADB file and transfer it back to the Palmtop.

The Windows version of the Appointment Book was originally created to run on the HP OmniBook laptop/ notebook computers. It will run under Windows 3.1 on a desktop. You can find the files on the 1999 CD InfoBase in the \ONDISK\97 DISK\97NovDec\OB6DSK directory. The files are also available on the Nov/Dec 1997 The HP Palmtop Paper On Disk.
