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, 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.
