Using File Link

The File Link feature enables you to synchronize Address Book and
Memo Pad information on your organizer with a separate external file
such as a company phone list. HotSync Manager stores the data in a
separate category on your Palm Desktop software and your organizer.
You can configure the File Link feature to check for changes to the
external file when you perform a HotSync operation.
With File Link, you can synchronize with data stored in any of the
following formats:
Comma-separated (*.csv)
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.

Creating a user profile

If you use the File Link feature to configure several Palm Computing
connected organizers with specific information (such as a company
phone list) before distributing them to their actual users, you can
create a user profile to load the data into an organizer without
associating that data with a user name. The User Profile feature is
designed only for the first-time HotSync operation, before you assign
a User ID to a particular organizer.
To create a user profile:
1. Open Palm Desktop software.
2. From the Tools menu, choose Users.
3. Click Profiles.
4. Click New.
