Importing Data
If you have data stored on a desktop computer in applications
such as spreadsheets and databases, or if you want to import

handheld computer without having to enter it manually. Save
the data in one of the file formats listed below, import it into
the Palm Desktop software, and then perform a HotSync
operation to transfer the data to your handheld computer.
Palm Desktop software can import data in the following file
formats:
ᮣ
Comma delimited (.csv, .txt): Address Book and Memo Pad
only.

Tab delimited (.tab, .tsv, .txt): Address Book and Memo Pad
only.

Archive formats (.csv, .txt, .tab, .tsv, .dba, .aba, .tda, .mpa) can
only be used with Palm Desktop software. Use the archive file
formats to share information with other people who use Palm
Powered handheld’s or to create a copy of your important
Palm Desktop information. (For more information about
