793640 2009-07-21 05:18:00 Hi there all,

I need to copy some SMS message urgently from a Palm Treo 700WX to a file that can be accessed on a PC.

So far I have tried

PalmDesk top, TreoDesktop and SMS Backup but none of these have worked.

Can anyone gimme a hand with this one please?

Cheers,

793641 2009-07-21 05:28:00 Will activesync do it ? (www.microsoft.com) Speedy Gonzales (78)
793642 2009-07-21 05:40:00 Sadly not, that was the 1st thing I tried, but it's pretty useless.

I have located what is the SMS database file... but funny enough it cannot be copied at all.

There are no options when right clicking on the file.

793643 2009-07-21 05:52:00 This ? (microsoft.handango.com)

That palm is listed down the bottom. It looks like its free. This may export messages as txt

793644 2009-07-21 19:06:00 Thanks Speedy I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on. chiefnz (545)
793645 2009-07-22 08:36:00 There's no way to turn the SMS' into attachments and email them is there? beeswax34 (63)
793646 2009-07-22 08:43:00 Not from what I have seen. The sms messages are usually stored in some form of database... which ironically cannot be copied even when connecting the phone via USB to a PC.

I haven't had a chance to do this just yet.. I'm swamped at work with other stuff.

I will update as soon as I have a chance.

Cheers,
