Synchronizing with external data
created on the computer
(File Link)
The “File Link” feature lets you import the Address Book and the Memo
Pad information into your CLIE handheld from a separate external file such
as a company phone list. HotSync Manager stores the data in a separate
category on your Palm Desktop for Sony software and your CLIE
handheld. 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)
• Palm Desktop for Sony software’s Memo Pad archive (*.mpa)
• Palm Desktop for Sony software’s Address Book archive (*.aba)
• Text (*.txt)
For information on how to set up the “File Link” feature, see the Palm
Desktop for Sony software Online Help.
