Importing data
29
Archive formats can only be used with Palm Desktop software. Use the archive file
formats to share information with other people who use a Palm OS
®
handheld or
to create a copy of your important Palm Desktop information.
To import data from a Windows computer:
1.
Open Palm Desktop software.
2.
Click the application into which you want to import data.
3.
If you are importing records that contain a field with category names, do the
following:
Select All in the Category box.
Be sure that the same categories that appear in the imported file also exist in the
application. If the categories do not exist, create them now; otherwise, the
records are imported into the Unfiled category.
4.
From the File menu, choose Import.
5.
Select the file you want to import.
6.
Click Open.
If you are importing a vCal or vCard file, skip to step 10. You do not have to
specify which fields correspond to the imported data.
7.
To import data into the correct Palm Desktop fields, drag fields in the left-hand
column so that they are opposite the corresponding imported field on the right.
8.
If you do not want to import a field, deselect the check box for that field.
9.
Click OK.
The imported data is highlighted in the application.
10.
To add the imported data to your handheld, perform a HotSync operation.
See Palm Desktop online Help for more information on importing and exporting
data.
Using File Link
The File Link feature enables you to import Address Book and Memo Pad
information to your handheld from a separate external file on your Windows
computer, such as a company phone list. You can configure the File Link feature to
check for changes to the external file when you perform a HotSync operation.
HotSync Manager stores the data in a separate category in Palm Desktop software
and on your handheld.
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)
