For Power Users only: DataManager Patch Disable/Enable:

If you disabled (i.e. masked with the stub application) the DataManager patch, you now need to review whether it makes sense to continue doing that. Unless you have some other third party app on your device which needs to access the classic PIM database and which only runs well with the DM Patch masked, you will typically be better off removing the mask for the DataManager patch and allowing DateBk5 to access the calendar and other databases directly. All the performance and stability problems caused by the DataManager patch will no longer occur for the Calendar and Memo databases - you may still see some delays in handling a very large contact database.

If you need to continue using the DataManager patch, you must install this file from the AdvancedStuff.zip archive (which itself is in the standard DateBk5.zip archive): ForcePIMs.prc. This file ensures that DateBk5 will continue to use the classic Palm Source databases. After installing it, do a soft reset or run the application. To remove its functionality, delete the file and do a soft reset.

If you read reading this section and don't know what it's about or worrying that you should know what it's about, don't worry - it does not apply to you!
