Using File Link

The File Link feature lets you import Address Book and Memo Pad
information into your pda phone from a separate external file such as a
company phone list. HotSync Manager stores the data in a separate
category on your Palm Desktop and your pda phone. You can set the File
Link feature to check for changes to the external file when you perform a
HotSync operation.

With File Link, you can import data stored in any of the following file
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.
