I daresay there is a really simple explanation for this........
I have just been copying all the TTN3 data from my SD card to a new CF card via a card reader. Have just put the CF card into the H2210 and tried to run UKPostcodes (tut, tut clap that man in irons) but get the following error message..."Cannot find 'ukpostcode' (or one of its components) - Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available."..
If I put the SD card back in it works perfectly. Since the CF card is an exact copy of the SD card how can this be?
Go on enlighten me!
Cheers
Tom

I should imagine there is a config file that needs editing as although it is an exact copy, the files are technically in a different location.....Think of the cards as D and E drives on a PC.
Perhaps there is a config file in the TT installation directory?

You could well be right (I haven't really got a clue what you mean  ) - maybe someone knows if this is the answer and if so how to correct it ?

I seem to remember that you had to set up the short cut from where the .exe program is located to the start menu. You need Active Sync and click on Explore.
Find the Windows Start menu page using explore, then drag it towards the side of your PC screen. Find the short cut to your SD card and delete it. Then using Explore again, navigate to your CF card and open that window. Find the UKPostcodes program, right click on it and drag it into your open Start menu window. Then select Create Short cut here and it should start when you click that entry in your PDA.

Ok thanks for that. Now that you mention it I do now remember having to create a short-cut to get it to work originally. However I am really confused as to why it doesn't work. All I did was backup the entire PDA contents to my SD card using the latest version of Sprite. I then put the SD card into my card reader and copied the entire contents of the SD card onto the empty CF card. Since all the data on the PDA is unchanged from before and the contents of the CF card are the same as the contents of the SD card then surely everything must be the same? Or am I being really thick here? I have looked (via File Explorer) at the contents of both cards and for the life of me I cannot see any differences. I don't profess to being very clued up about these things but this really does make me want to pull out what little hair I have left! 8O

The answer is really easy. The shortcut on your pocketpc no longer works. Even though you think the SD and CF card have identical contents, the original shortcut on your pocketpc will be looking for:
\SD Card\UKpostcode.exe etc....
whereas the file is now located at:
\CF Card\UKpostcode.exe
Looking via file explorer, the contents will LOOK the same but the shortcuts need to be changed to look on the CF card and not the SD card.
