Using File Link
The File Link feature enables you to import Address Book and Memo Pad
information onto your handheld from a separate external file such as a company
phone list. HotSync Manager stores the data in a separate category on your Palm
Desktop software and on your handheld. You can configure the File Link feature
to check for changes to the external file when you perform a HotSync operation.
With File Link you can import data stored in any of the following formats:
■
Comma-separated (*.csv)
■
Memo Pad archive (*.mpa)
■
Address Book archive (*.aba)
■
Text (*.txt)
For information on how to set up a file link, see the Palm Desktop online Help.
NOTE
The File Link feature is not available in Palm Desktop software for Mac.
