Prerequisites

MyEMR for Windows

In order to install MyEMR for the Pocket PC, you should have already installed MyEMR for Windows on your desktop computer.  We recommend Windows XP and Windows Vista as your desktop partner which runs MyEMR for Windows.

Microsoft ActiveSync

As part of setting up your new Pocket PC, you should follow the directions for setting up the docking cradle (or other connectors) and have Microsoft ActiveSync installed.

The latest version of Microsoft ActiveSync is version 4.2.  You can check your version of ActiveSync by displaying the ActiveSync Window, and choosing: 

     Help->About Microsoft ActiveSync 

This will display your version of Microsoft ActiveSync.  If you have questions, please contact support@softwaremotif.com

The following instructions assume a brand new installation.

Step 1:  Deleting existing partnerships with your desktop computer.

Your Pocket PC will expect to have a single partnership with your desktop computer.  To delete one or more partnership(s), from the desktop Microsoft ActiveSync window, choose File->Delete Partnership.  When all of your partnerships are deleted, this option will become disabled.

Step 2:  Connecting as "Guest".

Insert your Pocket PC into the cradle.  When the desktop computer recognizes the Pocket PC, it will give you the option to establish a "Standard partnership" or to connect as a "Guest partnership".  You should choose "Guest partnership" for these next few steps.

Step 3:  Extracting SetupMyEMRPPC.exe on the desktop

Locate the SetupMyEMRPPC.exe on your desktop computer.  You may have it on CD-ROM or you may have downloaded it and saved it to your Windows Desktop.  Once you have located the SetupMyEMRPPC.exe file, double-click to start the installation. 

Choose all factory default settings during the installation.  When the installation requests "User Name", "Company" and "License" information, complete this as you wish so long as these fields are not blank.  No software locking type of licensing is implemented by our policies, and we just ask you to agree to the written licensing information during the installation where you choose "I Agree". 

During the installation, if the desktop installation software refers you to attend to the Pocket PC, please complete the desktop installation fully, to the extent of choosing "Finish" prior to attending to any screen requests on the Pocket PC.

Step 4:  Pocket PC installation

Look at the Pocket PC's window.  There should not be any requests for the user.  If there are requests, please contact support@softwaremotif.com.  Otherwise you are ready to install your verbiage.

Step 5:  Exporting customized verbiage to your Pocket PC

1. Soft reset your Pocket PC and place it in the docking cradle.
2. Choose Start->All Programs->Software Motif->MyEMR Pocket PC Verbiage Refresh
3. The default MyEMR and CatchPhrase databases will be selected.  Otherwise, you can browse your computer or network with the browse "..." button to find the desired cs_pub.mdb or CatchPhrase.mdb file.  Your settings will be saved for future use.
4. Press "Transfer" for your MyEMR™ database. 
5. Press "Transfer" for your CatchPhrase database.

Step 6:  Establishing a Pocket PC Partnership

Remove the Pocket PC from the cradle (which has been a guest), and re-insert the Pocket PC.  Microsoft ActiveSync will ask you if you wish to establish a Standard Partnership with this computer, or optionally a Partnership through an Microsoft Exchange Server, or connect as Guest.  You want to establish a Standard Partnership.  (Your options may vary depending on the particular Pocket PC operating system, and your particular version of ActiveSync.)

Follow these step-by-step instructions to establish a new Pocket PC partnership.

Step 7:  You are complete!

Thank you for stepping through these instructions.  If you had any questions or continue to have questions, please e-mail support@softwaremotif.com for clarification and so that we may keep these instructions up-to-date.
