It's been a while since I did it so I might be a bit off here but I was able to export the bat address book info as comma delimited I believe. Then I used my yahoo account's import feature to import the comma delimited file (you have to configure the mappings of what goes where, but it didn't take that long). Next step was to then use intellisynch (free also) to synch yahoo's address book with the palm. Not one of those operations you'd want to do on a nightly basis but it did work.

Good question. I can't actually remember now, it's been so long:) Actually, I think the problem was that The Bat! and Yahoo actually was able to store more different fields than the Palm allowed so my goal ( I think ) was to keep The Bat! and Yahoo synched up correctly and then used the yahoo synch feature to keep it synched with the Palm. Needless to say I've just dropped doing any synching between The Bat, Yahoo, and The Palm. I ended up with duplicate records and things going into the wrong places, it was just a mess so I gave up. I look forward the perfect solution. -- Rick mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "I hope some animal never bores a hole in my head and lays its eggs in my brain, because later you might think you're having a good idea but it's just eggs hatching." -Jack Handey Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's consistently rated number one around the world, is incredibly powerful, and lets you use it at whatever level of simplicity/complexity you want. Plus, the development of Lotus products is fairly slow, which some people look at as bad but most users consider to be good, because the product is generally ahead of the pack anyway and their investment lasts. You can download a trial version of Organizer 6.0 from somewhere on the Lotus site.

Outlook has a good concept, Ie. sometimes an email should go into a task list, or drop onto a calendar to show that i need to do something regarding that item on a certain day. I am a developer, and what a mess it makes if you have independent applications making you maintain their own address-book or contacts. this is one global thing we humans all keep.. phone book!! our phonebooks contain all kinds of info about people.. i put birthdays, anniversaries, in my paper phonebooks, fax#, cell#, email, lots of notes about the person.. so in electronic world. .that is what i'm looking for.. something simple.. but if I want to set up a meeting or a visit with someone in my address book.. darn it i want them to be in MY ONLY darn address book! Calendar and scheduling is also something I view as very important and needs a common address/contact book.. It drives me nuts that there is not a calendar in TB! I love TB! anyhow, don't get me wrong, but I really need to be able to pull up a calendar or drop an email on a day of the calendar to create a tickler file for the day. as for full-on scheduling, for businesses they work great, personally I don't use scheduling that much... but email to me is not a stand alone application..and someday the developers will get it together and really make a plug-in able email that you can add whatever vendor's product to. That is my hope. -- Best regards, Lauramailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/

I know it's not what you are looking for, but -just in case- take a look at Dawn (http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~zakharin/Software/download.html) AFAIK it's great at converting address books.
