CITATION
Since the Tungsten T5 normally assigns the Second hardware button for the datebook function, you will want to make sure that the Views tab of the main DateBk5 Preference panel (Options | Preferences in any view) has a '2' in the popup list next to the Date legend.
If you use categories in DateBk5 and are upgrading, it's advised to make sure that you have two categories defined: Business and Personal. It appears that these new PalmOne devices look to see if these are defined and if not automatically create them and this can end up shuffling all your categories around.
If you use the new encryption download to encrypt the datebook database, you must uncheck the box for having DateBk5 handling alarms as the Palm OS will otherwise crash when an alarm goes off.
If you use a backup utility, and have V-5.1 or earlier of DateBk5, you must use a utility that does not restore the classic PIM databases (most backup utilities have been updated for this, but if not, just make sure you don't restore those four databases (DatebookDB, ToDoDB, MemoDB, AddressDB). Also if you get DmWrite Errors whenever you try and create a new item in DateBk5 (or other third party apps that access the PIM databases), run dbScan (must be V-1.7b or later) and select the option to Remove All Deleted Records in order to workaround a known bug in the PalmOne DataManager patch. This latter bug was fixed in the PalmOne update listed under the third note above.
You may experience some unusually long delays when exiting DateBk5. This is caused by the PalmOne DataManager patch. There is also an obscure problem in writing capital letters in the graffiti area when in landscape mode - this is not a flaw in Datebk5 per se, but at this point it is not known why the Palm OS refuses to shift into upper case under certain conditions.
Important Update: Pimlico Software will shortly be releasing a V-5.4 maintenance release which bypasses the DataManager patch by reading the proprietary calendar and memopad databases directly. A preview of this version is now available for download and you may want to install this version especially if you have a Tungsten T5 or Treo650 as the slower Flash memory on these devices is severely impacted by performance problems and bugs in the PalmOne DataManager patch: http://www.PimlicoSoftware.com/datebk5-v54...-p3-interim.zip. If you install this release, check back in a couple of weeks or so to see if the final relese of V-5.4 has been posted (it will either have no letter/digit or the letter 's' and a digit

Pour les non anglophones:
Bouton hardware: Le deuxième bouton = le bouton agenda. il faut donc s'assurer qu'il y a un "2" dans la popup list à côté de la date dans l'écran de préference principal. Option | préferences.
Catégories: Il faut avoir deux catégories Business et Personal sinon, le T5 en créé automatiquement et cela risque de mettre le boxon dans vos catégories.
Si vous utilisez le cryptage des données, il faut désactiver la gestion des alarmes par Datebk, sinon, crash assuré.
Si vous utilisez un logiciel de backup, vous devez utiliser qun logiciel qui ne restore pas les bases "classic" de l'agenda (DatebookDB, ToDoDB, MemoDB, AddressDB). Si vous avez des DmWrite Errors quand vous essayez de créer un nouvel évènement, exécuter dbscan (v1.7 minimum) et sélectionner l'option qui enlève tous les enregistrements effacés. Ce bug dans le PalmOne DataManager est fixé dans le Patch de PalmOne.
Si vous avez des délais d'attente très long en quittant Datebk5, ceci est du au Patch DataManager de PalmOne. Il y a aussi un bug qui empeche l'ecriture en capital en mode paysage, ce n'est pas à cause de Datebk5.
IMPORTANT: Une nouvelle version va bientôt être disponible qui va passer outre le fameux patch et lire directement dans les bases. UNe version preview est dispo (dans notre séléction logiciels).
En bref: J'attends
