I am not sure what I did originally and now it seems to be working. I exported the records I lost so I have them as a CSV file. I read that I need the Microsoft Access program to import these back in. Is this correct?

I do not have Access and would have to buy it.

What I am saying is this did not happen. My first day out I recorded 350 trees. Uploaded to my laptop and all data on the PDA was cleared. . The next day I did another 400 or so. I uploaded those and the first days work IS NOT THERE! Luckily I backed up the first days work. I need to know what is wr...

I tried and it appears that the older records are no longer there. Is there another step required to prevent it from overwriting the records. I am using streets.

Thanks

I am doing an inventory that will take me 7 days.

Any way to download daily info and start the next day with the PDA clean of previously entered data?

MY PDA seems to slow down as data file size increases

I just started working with my new PDA and see that the options for foliage and wood are separate. Sorry I am new to this and just getting started.

Thanks Jerry, The complexity of wood condition(structure) and foliage (i prefer biological health or vigor) would warrant a separation in the reports and in the data collection fields. I spend a great deal of time with my customers explaining why the two conditions although related in some ways are ...

In order to have all possible options 4 biologic health and 4 structural health there are 16 different possible combinations.

Since Condition is too vague I think future releases should separate these. Since you can have a tree which is biologically very healthy yet a severe hazard. and the other way around a nearly dead tree biologically which is not a hazard, (yet).

Just a thought

I am just beginning to use Streets and found it troublesome that "condition" combines biological health (vigor) and structural health. These are VERY separate things.

If I use one of the "other" fields to track biologic health how badly will this screw up the reports etc.
