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 your handheld. You can configure the File Link feature to check for changes to the external file when you perform a HotSync operation.

Note: File Link is not available for the Macintosh version of Palm Desktop software.

With File Link, you can import data stored in any of the following formats:

Comma delimited (.csv)

Tab delimited (.tsv)

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.
