I have an address.dat from my old Palm Tungsten W. Not sure if any of you can help? I don't know if the Treo uses the Palm Desktop and same address.dat files?
I want to import it into outlook to sync it to the HTC, but of course the .dat file isn't in an importable format?
Does anyone know of something that will convert it to .csv or something?
I have got around this by downloading an old version of Palm desktop, deleting the address.dat file and replacing it with my old one.
I've then had to export each one as a vcf and bring it into Outlook, then sync to my HTC.
Another way to go about it:
if you still have the original Tungsten W CD you will find a utility called OutlookSwitcher (from memory under the Post Install folder).
Running the Outlook Switcher will change your HotSync conduit to sync with Outlook instead of Palm Desktop.
So:
1. Sync your TW with Palm Desktop (as a safeguard)
2. Run Outlook Switcher
3. Sync the TW with OL
4. Connect your HTC and sync with OL, making sure the conduit is set to desktop overwrite HTC
Hope this helps...

Thanks for that, but I bought my Palm from a friend and never had the install CD.
Mind you, if I'd known about OutlookSwitcher I might have been able to Google for it.

Hi,
I need to do a hard reset on my device and want to store all my contacts somewhere safe so I don't have to manually input them all again. The problem is I don't use outlook on my PC. Is there any way I can pull them off the Exec and store them on my PC for safe keeping?
I would normally throw them on the SIM but there appears to be no tool to add them all at once and I am not manually moving 150 contacts myself
tried using the good old shortcut called Ctrl+A to choose all at once ?
not sure if the sim have all contact infos like birthdays and work phone and...
like outlook have though
No Ctrl key I am afraid
the software keyboard have a ctrl key
imho then the easy way would be to install outlook and sync with it
and export it to pst file format
uninstall outlook
and if you ever had to restore it
then install outlook once more and import the pst file and then sync once more
not sure about universal but my xda2 came with a cd with outlook
Hi, anybody knows how data in PalmOS (such as Datebook, AddressBook) can be loaded to WinMob (Calendar, Contact) ?
I have tried to export in Palm Desktop and import from Outlook, but it seems I cannot find the intermediate file type.
Many Thanks!
You shouldn't need an "internediate file type."
Just sync your old PalmOS Treo with Outlook.
Then sync your new Treo 750 with Outlook.
It's pretty seamless.
i can't seem to figure it out as my treo 750 doesn't work with my palm desktop.
and i can't seem to get my microsoft outlook to sync with my treo 650

are your HotSync conduits set to sync with Outlook or Palm Desktop? If Palm desktop you can run the OutlookSwitcher utility (found on your 650 CD) to switch the conduits to Outlook. Your 750 cannot sync with Palm Desktop.

You can hide your SIM contacts by editing the registry:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone
create a new DWORD value named "ShowSim" and set it to 0
(you need a 3rd party registry editor tool).
They will still show when you search through the Lookup Field, but will not show in the standard Contacts list.

any recommendations for as good free registy tool?
Hi
I know that my question is basic but I want to be sure how to precede with a s710 WM6, Windows XP and Outlook 2003.
How to transfert my phone ontacts towards my PC without receiving all my contacs contaned in Outlook. In another hand, it is possible after sending from the phone over outlook (edited) resending them in my phone like selecting wich one I want to?
In one word, I want to transfert my contacts from the phone over my PC, edit them, and synch them back without touching my contacts base in Outlook.
Best regards
You could copy your original outlook contacts to a new folder in outlook. Then use the original folder for syncing with your phone - which could contain only the subset you wanted on you phone. You would have to manually update/copy between the new folder and the original however.
