    Dave, Nice program.
    But one question; I was able to create a category (Force), but how do I add the individual measurements?
    I want to add in the category force the convertion from Foot.lbs to Newton meter.
    but where and how do I add the values for Foot.lbs & Newton meter

    Luc, if you have a Smartphone 2003 SE then just scroll down to the newly created category and click the action button.

    Failing that scroll down to the newly created Category and then click the Options menu and select 1 to Edit Ratios and enter in your ratios for the different forces you want to convert between..

    Hope this makes sence - when i get a moment I'll write a users guide:-)

    Cheers, Dave

    Hey Dave, Love this program. I've added a couple of catalogs, which was a lot of thumb typing! Is there any way to back up my work in case my phone crashes or I have to update the ROM or I have to reinstall this program?

    Hi there Mike, think answered this over email but for others then just navigate to the progam fileconvertit directory and copy off the systemdata and categorydata directories to your PC via active sync, reset your device, reload Convert It and copy the directories back on to the device.

    The next version has a backup option, still finishing of that plus the new tracking function (which allows for user defined tracking forms to do things such as expense tracking) its defo a spare time passtime for the next month or so..

    Cheers, Dave
