Lost Date Book

Well, I just got through backing up all my documents to my PC using Palm
Connect. Then I put them on my spare PCMCIA card, going from my PC to
Zoomer. When I started up my Date Book, it was a blank slate. Of course,
this is the function I use the most, so all my appointments and meetings are
gone. Now I have to try to REMEMBER them, which is why I bought the Zoomer
in the first place. What happened???
Yesterday, I was moving all my documents from my B: drive (Zoomer) to my
PCMCIA card in the path c:\geoworks\document so I could install Graffiti.
When I next tried to start up Date Book, it gave some kind of error
message (I don't remember what). I tried again and it didn't find my
appointments. I tried again and everything was there. I noticed that the
Zoomer had written a Date Book file to my b:drive. Everything worked
normally until today when I copied that Date Book file from my b:drive to my
PCMCIA card, then deleted the Date Book file from my b:drive. THEN I did my
backup routine to my PC using Palm Connect. When I tried Date Book, it was
blank. Where did it go??? Why did it write a new file to my b:drive???
All my other applications seem to work well with my the documents on
c:drive. Is Date Book a special case, or am I flirting with disaster by
putting all my documents on c:drive?
BTW, I really like Graffiti. I guess everyone else already has experienced
it, though.
BTW again, I sent Blaine a copy of the notebook file containing restaurants
in the Atlanta area. (I'll need to get a copy of this from Blaine as I also
managed to delete my copy. I KNOW how I did this, though...stupidity.)
