hi there, i have backed up my blackberry data onto my laptop (windows 7 )...
but when i go into my documents and try and open, it tells me it cant open it and try web or choose a program to open,..............but which one?.
i see this...
then if i click on the 2nd, 4th, and 6th ones, i see this -
all im looking to do is back up my address book and messages, and be able to view them on my pc...
i back up my data such as SMS and adress book etc, but even though they are backed up, i cannot see them unless i download something else what can open it?.
also how would i even know where the SMS message files are?....
what are they named?.
is it really this hard to just take a look at backed up SMS messages / address book with blackberry?.
i never saw this much issue with nokia...you could see everything right there.
I have written a macro which will solve your problem. Macro runs on Windows and Excel. My services are free. The macro parses an IPD file and produces various text files / reports based on the DBs it detects on the IPD file. This macro WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM. Contact me and I will send the macro to you. If it does not meet your exact requirements, I will try to make it work for you. Macro contains no malware, adware or hidden. I am an independent, not a corporation. I wrote this macro for my own benefit and I continue to see other people needing the same things I needed. Incidentally, the macro is fully documented as well. When I write things like this and provide them free of charge, my daughter tells people it's a sign of a man with too much time on his hands ! rapanui21 AT yahoo DOT com
