MCTI data download problem
I have installed the new i-Tree version 1.2 onto my laptop, set up the necessary ActiveSync 4.1 with my new Pharos PDA, got everything loaded per the user's manual, but when I download data collected on my PDA to my laptop and run MCTI, I get no species displayed in the species box on the details page. The proper species code is displayed on the Tree List page and the species is found in the grand database table. I have deleted and reloaded the PDA utility per user's manual instructions hoping that would solve my problem, but the problem continues. How can I get the species code to display on the details page?
It sounds like you may have simply missed a step when setting up your MCTI project; before your field data is imported for the first time, you must first import your configuration settings. In section 3.1.4 of the manual under, “Importing i-Tree Configuration and Field Data to MCTI,” there is a procedure called “Import Surveyors, Species, Street Lists from iTREE.mdb.” Once completed, you need to exit and restart MCTI for the settings to take effect. After this, your species and other configuration information should read correctly under the details tab. Please let us know whether or not this solves the problem you’ve experienced.

I was meticulous in following the instructions in the users manual (3 or 4 times). I figured that something in the utility didn't get loaded properly because the data were there, so I did a hard boot on my PDA and reloaded all of the i-Tree software again. That seemed to solve the problem. Thanks for your help.
