Advanced HotSync® operations Synchronizing with external data (File Link) The File Link feature allows you to import Address Book and Memo Pad information onto 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 CLIE 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 CLIE software's Memo Pad archive (*.mpa) • Palm Desktop for CLIE software's Address Book archive (*.aba) • Text (*.txt) For information on how to set up File Link, see the Palm Desktop for CLIE online help.
