It looks like you still need to install sqlce

I have a question and/or suggestion. Is it possible to dictate where the program saves it's information? I see that it does have the import/export feature, but thought if it was possible to set it's save location (i.e. save it on the memory card), then when you flash all you have to do is change the default location and viola!

If this feature is already available could you point it out for me? If it is not I think it would be handy. Then again I am not very familiar with the inner workings of the program so I am not sure how hard that would be to implement, just thought I would put it out there.

Well in the code I don't have the location hard coded.....I have it set for "wherever the exe is + file". You could install the app to the storage card, flash, and reinstall and the sdf and settings will not be overwritten as they are created by the program itself.

Made a DB change, please see the special instructions!

Thanks! I'll give that a shot and let you know how it turns out!

I had been installing and upgrading since the program came out, but didn't have any data (I don't drive much, and have a super fuel efficient car). The program itself seemed to run fine, though. However, this new version gives me an SqlCeException error. So do I have to reinstall sqlce? I thought it became a system file, but I guess not. Should I uninstall the whole thing before reinstalling sqlce? Any other advice? TIA - sheureka

I just uninstalled/reinstalled the new version and uninstalled/reinstalled sqlce. I still get the sqlce error. If this helps, here's the message I'm getting-

Kick it!

Are you installing the most recent version of sqlce? There is a link to it at post 37.

[shaggylive]

did you delete gasmate.sdf ? uninstalling does not delete this data file.

[sheureka]

Yes and yes.

And I just reinstalled the last beta - .24e SVN r37 - and it runs fine. So the problem has to be in the coding in this latest release. - sheureka
