Can't Get Past Page 5...

[+Geckolovers]

Argh, can't get past page 5 of the Florida Caching Article; Paperless Caching. What am I doing wrong?

 

I have Gsak and just opened and downloaded my latest PQ.

 

I am using a Palm M515 that I just loaded Cachemate into.

 

I am supposed to export the Cachemate PDB file to my Palm. So the article says (in the para. right below figure 9) that I am supposed to "give your file a name and tell Gsak where to write it to..." Well, the screen that is figure 10 comes up, but when I click on the folder or the arrow at the end of either dialog box, they are empty.

 

Basically, once I have my PQ loaded and filtered, I am totally lost.

 

I am sure I am making a pretty basic mistake, but I have been working on this for a couple of hours now and I am getting frustrated. I am going back and forth between the same two screens waiting for a miracle. Hasn't happened. Can anyone figure out where I am going wrong?

 

Thank you!

Here's where I learned about paperless cacheing and I'm a computer idiot. http://65.34.18.106/content.php?article.15 Hope this helps you out or maybe I missed your question.

Thanks, Wrench, but it's page 5 of that article where I get bogged down!

It's been a while, but I think I was bogged down there as well. I opened GSAK-FILE-EXPORT-CacheMate PDB file and under "PD File to create" I have C:\PQ's\293862.pdb. Under "Select From most recent" I have "File=293862.pdb Path=C\PO's". I can't remember where the file 293862 came from, but I created the folder PQ's on my hard drive and put it there. I know I have not been much help, everytime I export to my palm I get this message that file 293862 exisit, do you want to overwrite it?, Or something like that and I allways click yes and all is well. Good luck, hope you get it figured out

The reason the "Select from most recient" is blank is because there is no "most recient".

In the PDB file to create box you want to click on the file folder to the right, navigate to your desktop then give the PDB file any name you want.

That should at least get you to the next step.

Thank you Wrench, thank you Landrover! I did what you said and it worked! I can now download caches to my PDA. Of course, now it is saying I am an unregistered user of Cachemate (but I have my Papal receipt that I paid my $8) and I can only download 10 caches, but you guys got me over the hump! Thank you!

Come to think of it I had the same thing happen, Try opening up cachemate on pda, click on cachemate on top left, then option and to the bottom you see "Register" I think that's how I got it to download more than 10 caches.
