Is it posssible to change location for where notes are saved? E.g. to memory
card? Have an SE XPERIA X1i, MS OneNote (Mobile) 2007 but can't find any
option for this..?

Yes, the notebooks can be stored everywhere.
The location is specified in "Tools | Options | Save"

Changing the settings will only work fir new notebooks. The old ones
will have to be moved from the current location (default: "My
documents\OneNote notebooks") to the new place.

Are you sure? I am talking about the MOBILE version, not desktop.. The only
thing I can change is sorting options. "Menu > options > Sort by.." There
aren't any other options there :S I can change the location for
word/excel/powerpoint, but not OneNote..

I'm so sorry.
It was not said in the message *text* and I overlooked it in the subject
:-(

Right.
There is way, but not too easy (with editing the Registry on the mobile
device).

I will have to search for it, but it's too late now (03:52 AM) and I'm
almost falling from my chair :-(

I have been advised that the only way to achieve this is to install OneNote
Mobile on the storage card (which would require you to uninstall it first).

It is strongly recommended that you complete a full backup of your device
before attempting this.

I would be interested in your feedback.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to either uninstall, nor find a copy on my
desktop to install again. But I have posted a thread on a XPERIA forum, where
seem to know A LOT! I'll let you know how it went as soon as I have tried it.
Thnx for the tip

Installing is via OneNote: menu: Tools-Options-OneNote Mobile

I checked my resources again and found that the topic of storing the
data on an SD-card was dealt with in the thread "Install-/data path
(OneNote Mobile)" starting Mar 04 by "sabur".
In this thread on Mar 10
(Message-ID:[email protected])
"Sven" posted a link to an older thread with a recipe for changing the
storage location on a mobile device:

(look for the PDailey post at 20.07.2006 23:32:01).

Unfortunately sabur did not report back :-( :-(

It would be nice if you could let us know if the recipe worked for you.
