Paolo Broggi, Tip: How to Link Amicus Attorney and Your Treo 650
TechnoLawyer member Paul Landsman asks:
"Does anyone have experience with setting up the link that allows Amicus to transfer data to the Treo 650. I had it working perfectly with my old Treo 600. I can transfer my contacts but not the calendar, event, to-do, etc. If any one knows the proper settings, I would appreciate the assistance."
The first thing to do is to remove Palm OS from your PC as instructed by the Palm manual and then install the new Palm/Treo desktop. After synching at list once then go to the Team50\Install\PILOT folder and run the PPSetup.exe.
You will be asked to turn off the HOTSYNC manager before getting into the setup selection windows where you can choose which conduits (connections) you want enabled, e.g. Appointments, To Dos and Contacts or any combination of those.
As you finish this installation of the links select to turn on the HOTSYNC manager and now go to HotSync icon next to the clock lower right corner the blue and red arrow (in the system tray), right click on it and select Custom ...
If every thing went well (assuming that you choose all the three conduits) here you will see three new entries starting with Amicus. If you have Amicus V and you don't see the Amicus entries you will need to contact Gavel & Gown tech support to obtain a patch that will add the entries in the registry.
Double click on any of the Amicus Attorney entries to choose how you want Amicus and your Treo to exchange the information. Remember to check the default box so that the changes will apply to every HotSync you do.
Once you start the HotSync the first time with Amicus you will be asked about mapping categories for example Business with Clients, Private with Private and so on.
The first time you sync your Treo with Amicus Attorney will take sometime according to the amount of data you have in the Amicus database. After that it will take only a couple of minutes.
That should do the trick.
If you still have problems contact me directly.
Installation of Palm link on Amicus Attorney 7 is very different.
