 | Export Palm Desktop 6.2.2 into Yahoo? I'm wanting to import my calendar from Palm Desktop 6.2.2 into my Yahoo calendar but it won't accept it. Does Yahoo support this version of Palm Desktop? I can import into Palm from Yahoo, but not the other way. Ultimately, I'm trying to sync calendars between my wife's BlackBerry and my Centro and using Yahoo (her calendar program) as the conduit. Thanks |

| I'm not sure about the 6.2.2 desktop app but eariler versions could Export to a .cvs or .tab format for the Contacts, so that might be an option somehow with Calendar data, but I've used Outlook for 8+ years, so I'm guessing.

 | Here's a possible OTA, (Over The Air), solution. Yahoo! calendar supports CalDAV synchronisation which when used in conjunction with a SyncML client should allow you to sync calendar items directly from your Centro to your Yahoo! calendar  Yahoo! CalDAV sync SyncML client for PalmOS

| Thanks for the replies. I'm not really needing OTA type sync, just a way to get my calendar onto the wife's BlackBerry which uses Yahoo as its calendar. It seems Palm Desktop versions prior to 6.2 were compatible with a Yahoo sync, but this one is not. I wonder if my Centro is compatible with a previous version of Palm Desktop, like the 4.x versions which I know are compatible with Yahoo. And the best I can tell, Palm Desktop 6.2.2 will only export as a .dba file which is the problem. If I could decompile it down to a .csv or the like, it would be easy. Thanks again and any other suggestions would be helpful. |

| Yes, the Centro is compatible with the 4. series of the Palm Desktop and you should have no problem running the 4. series on your Windows XP PC. In fact, it would probably be preferable as Palm took away features in 6.2.

| Thanks for the help. I switched to Palm Desktop 4.1 and it works great. I auto sync my Palm to my wife's Yahoo which auto syncs with her BlackBerry. Nothing for me to do other than hook up my palm to the sync cable. Also, it syncs a LOT faster than it used to with 6.2.2 with as far as I can tell the same functionality. |
