Importing data

Using File Link
The File Link feature enables you to import Address Book and Memo Pad
information, such as a company phone list, to your handheld from a separate
external file on your Windows computer. 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)
■
Text (*.txt)
For information on how to set up a file link, see the Palm Desktop online Help.

Palm Desktop software can import data from any applications that can export the
data in any of the following file formats:
■
Tab-delimited file
■
Text
■
Palm Desktop software for Mac
■
vCal (.vcs)
■
vCard (.vcf)
For example, you can export tab-delimited files from applications such as:
FileMaker Pro, Meeting Maker, Now Contact, and Now Up-to-Date.

1.
Open Palm Desktop software.
2.
From the File menu, select Import.
3.

location.
