Upgrade information

If you already own a WorkPad companion, install the version of Palm Desktop for IBM WorkPad that comes with your new WorkPad c3 companion into the same folder as your current Palm Desktop for IBM WorkPad software. All your data will be preserved when you install the new version in the same folder as the previous version. If you use another personal information manager (PIM), such as Microsoft Outlook, you still need to install the most recent HotSync Manager and conduit software from the Palm Desktop software for IBM WorkPad CD-ROM that came with your new companion.

You can perform HotSync operations in exactly the same way, so you can quickly synchronize your data with your new companion. Just remember to synchronize your old companion with Palm Desktop for IBM WorkPad before you synchronize with your new companion, so you have all your latest information. When you synchronize your companion for the first time, select the Desktop overwrites handheld option for all the conduits. See “Customizing HotSync application settings” in Chapter 6 for more information.
