I was able to synch it up without much trouble. I use the free Yahoo address book at my backup so that I have a backup online. It was fairly simple to export your Bat address book to a CSV file. The I imported this CSV file to my yahoo address book (option there to import a csv file ). Next just use the free intellisynch software you could download at yahoo and it's a breeze to synch between Yahoo address book and your Palm. The only part that wasn't so nice was the synch between the exported Bat csv file and the Yahoo address book. The little trick is to do this: 1) If you don't already have addresses in your yahoo address book, put a sample one in filling in all the contact information you think you will use. 2) Now export this yahoo address book as a CSV file and open it up in something like Excel. 3) Look at what the name all the columns. 4) Export the Bat address book to a csv file and open it up in Excel. Rename the column headings to the corresponding ones in Yahoo. 5) Save this file and then import this into the Yahoo address book. Next just get the intellisynch software and you can synch pretty easilly between yahoo and your palm. I'd make a copy of the csv column names you used so that if you want to export your bat addresses in the future it's not that hard. Might not be what you are looking for.
