I remembered wrong it was Java not Java Script<div><div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Java is now
rolling out Java 8 as a standard update to everyone who has Java
7.</font></span></div>
<div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial"></font></span> </div>
<div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font color="#ff0000" face="Arial"><strong>HOWEVER - Java 8 is not compatible with Pimlical at this
time, because Java 8 no longer includes support for the ODBC drivers (via the
JDBC-ODBC Bridge) which are a requirement for Pimlical to read and write
the old Palm MDB databases (the MS Access
Databases).</strong></font></span></div>
<div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial"></font></span> </div>
<div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Pimlical no
longer needs those databases as it has its own formats for the calendar, tasks,
memos and contacts databases, but it STILL uses the MDB databases for for
backwards compatibility for users who are either (a) still using a Palm
handheld, or (b) using programs like CompanionLink that need the MDB databases
in order to sync.</font></span></div>
<div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial"></font></span> </div>
<div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Pimlical/Desktop is now in the process of being updated to examine
the Java version and it will now tell you that if you have the preference
SynchronizeWithPalmOS set to TRUE, that proceeding will force that preference to
FALSE and the MDB databases will be ignored. Otherwise, you can cancel out of
Pimlical and install Java 7 which will then allow you to continue reading and
writing those databases and also allow you to do a final conversion of those
databases if you had not done so previously.</font></span></div>
<div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial"></font></span> </div>
<div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">If Java was
updated to version 8, for now you would need to remove it and re-install Java 7
which you can download from:</font></span></div>

<div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font face="Arial">I was rather hoping that
there would be some reasonable third-party solution for the ODBC driver issue,
but right now the only options I have seen have various restrictions or are
inordinately expensive. And it is not going to be an issue for most users who
are moving forwards - only those who are still tied to their palm
handhelds.</font></span></div>
<div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font face="Arial"></font></span> </div>
<div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font face="Arial">I will be posting an
official update to Pimlical/Desktop this weekend (2.3.25) which at least
includes a test for Java 8 and warns users about this issue so they can
downgrade back to Java 7. There is no timetable at this time for a version that
is compatible with Java 8, but it should not take that long to get it
out...</font></span></div>
<div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font face="Arial"></font></span> </div>
<div><span class="699291419-18102014"><font face="Arial">And it is always possible
that I may find some workaround for the JDBC-ODBC issue, in which case I will
post a note on this forum about it....</font></span></div>
