Palm Desktop to Outlook

[tommyd]

Is there anyway to transfer data/contacts from Palm Desktop to Outlook. I have all my contacts on Palm Dsktp but we are in the process of organizing the office so I'm going to have to adapt

It gets complex, I did a search and came up with a whole host of threads that may help you.

Here is the simplest way that I found to do this:

You know that Documents to Go program that came on the CD for the Clie, well go to DataViz's website Dataviz (www.dataviz.com) and find a program called Desktop to Go. Download the trial version and it will walk you through on how to move everything over to Outlook either from your Clie or from the Palm Desktop.

I had the same problem of keeping two different desktops on a single system.

It also created a problem of selecting Contacts for the calendar and vice versa (Birthdays, meetings, appointments, etc.).

After doing a search and trying various trial versions, I have personally settled down on using Chapura's Keycontacs.

The prime reason for this is the multiple contacts and the exact field mapping it provide. It is kind of emulation Outlook Contacts on your Palm OS device.

The only drawback it keeps its data in a differently database. So if you already have contacts in your original Contact Database that came with your device, their information is kept in the original database. If you install Keycontacts, it will import all the information from your desktop and will create a new databse for the newly imported information.

I have tried to delete the old database but when I synch my NX it puts all the contact back to the original database.
