Hi Chanelle and list I found that copying the individual address list files did not work because none of the records copied across. A more effective way is to copy the entire Keylist folder from the CF card to the PK.
So, if you copy the Keylist folder from your classic to a CF card, then copy that folder onto your PK everything should work fine. Just agree to replacing any files that already exist. By the way, it doesn't matter if you are running different versions on the Classic and PK. I've done it between versions and all my addresses copied across perfectly. Hope it works, and enjoy your new PK!

First of all, what are your versions of both units? If they are the same versions, you can do what you want. The one you want to copy is the address.cdb file. I would copy it to a compact flash card. Then, from main Menu, press F, M. At your drive prompt, go to the compact flash card. If it is in "none", press Enter. Space once to get to the "list of files" prompt. Press Space with X until you see "hidden files." Go to the address.cdb file and press Enter. Then, go to the Keylist file. You may get "file already exists, replace? You would press Y for yes. There is a chance that this file will protect itself. To check it out, go to the address list. If you get "access is denied", you'll know it is protected: Then, you would go to Main menu. Press F for file. P for protect. You'll see "protect file on which drive?" You'll go to the Flash drive, and to the Keylist file. Again, press Enter. Space once to get to the "list of files" prompt. Press Space with X until you see "hidden files." When you see address.cdb, press Enter. It will tell you that the file is protected. Press U to unprotect. As far as the dictionary, it will not work on the PK, unless you purchased another dictionary. It only works with the product key it was purchased under. Blessings to you, and again, welcome. Hope some of this made sense. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: Chanelle Hill <[email protected] >To: [email protected] >Date sent: Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:04:55 -0500 >Subject: [Braillenote] backing up addresses from BrailleNote Classic to PKand Oxford Dictionary >Dear list members, >My name is Chanelle, and I am new to this list and the BrailleNote PK, >which I received yesterday.
