When you perform a HotSync
Palm Terminal Desktop on your computer, the Expense data is stored on your computer (in
a file named Expense.txt). When you open the Expense application in Symbol Palm Terminal
Desktop, an Excel macro populates an expense template with your data based on the rules
specified in a spreadsheet file named Maptable.xls.
The Maptable.xls file is an editable spreadsheet that functions as a "mapping table", which
guideS the Excel macro in extracting the Expense data. The mapping table tells the Excel
macro how large the spreadsheet is and provides the data-cell layout of the Excel template
used for the Expense Report.

Customizing Existing Sample Templates

Four sample Expense Report templates come with the Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop. These
templates are stored in the Templates folder (which is in the same folder as the Symbol Palm
Terminal Desktop application).
If the layout of one (or more) of these templates is appropriate for your reporting needs, you
can easily customize the templates with your company name and other information.
To customize a sample Expense Report template:
1. Make a backup copy of the contents of the Templates folder.
