Hello, group,

I've been a member of this group for years, but haven't been around much since I stopped using HS a few years ago (yeah, I know, shocking, but the device was pretty much fried, and I couldn't spend several hundred Euros simply for the joy of using HS ;-), so I went back to a notepad and pencil).

My problem now is the following:
I have got an ancient device, XDA II, running Windows Mobile v 4.x and Handyshopper, version 2.8 or 2.9 (?), dated 2004-08-18. 

I extracted the pdb from the device and used hs3convert (!) to get it into OpenOfficeCalc to update the stores and the aisle (I moved, meanwhile). I only touched the content of the columns, not the headers. I used the sort data function a few times. I saved the file in original format, csv.
I also edited the *.txt file and corrected the stores list in there to match the *.csv (input alphabetically).

To put the finishing touches on my work, I wanted to reimport the DB to the device and do some corrections in the store (correcting aisles, etc.). The old XDA is still good for a few hours running time.

I tried to convert the *.csv back to *.pdb with hs3convert, but got the following error message:
"Header line is incorrect.
Error reading input file 'hs2einkauf.csv'."

I assume the header line is something internal, not the csv column headers.
Is my use of OpenOfficeCalc the problem? Is it possible at all to use hs3convert to convert HS2 databases (both ways) and have them working?
And if not, is there a way to obtain the hs2convert application somewhere? I only have the *.cab for v2. A web search did not bring up something, except Chris Antos' website, where only the current version seems to be available.

Thank you for any help and/or pointers you can give :-).
