How to Setup?

Before running the script, you have to first download the following 3 x FREE packages:

   1. SQLite ODBC driver
       http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/

   2. iPhuc Utility
       http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/downloads/detail?name=iPhuc%20Windows.rar&can=2&q=

   3. iOutNotes
       http://code.google.com/p/ioutnotes/downloads/list

onto your M$ Outlook-installed Windows machine.


Then perform the following 5 steps to let the solution works for you.

   1. Install SQLite ODBC driver

   2. Extract iOutNotes in a temporary directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\iOutNotes) on your PC

   3. Extract all files in the directory iPhuc Windows of the iPhuc archive in the same directory of iOutNotes

   4. Connect your iPhone to your PC

   5. Execute the batch file iOutNotes.bat or the script iOutNotes.vbs

If Outlook asks you for access permission, just tick the box to Allow access for 1 Minute and press OK

            


As always, BACKUP is one of the critical things to do when making changes. The script will automatic keep the five latest versions of the notes.db and the LOG file.


The additional iOutNotesDaemon script is written to be run in the background and automatic launch iOutNotes after each iTunes Sync.

   1. Execute the iOutNotesDaemon.bat or iOutNotesDaemon.vbs to start up the background service

   2. Execute the iOutNotesDaemon.bat or iOutNotesDaemon.vbs again to terminate the background service


Note: This procedure only holds for version 1.0b or later
              For earlier version, please refer to "How to do it Manually?"
