When Entourage X was created, Palm Desktop didn't even have its 4.0 beta ready - not for several months, too late for SR-1 as well. So there's no way Entourage's import engine can know anything about it. It's only for PD 2.x Classic. My script package Export-Import X (shareware) from AppleScript Central <http://www.applescriptcentral.com/> can import from PD 4.0 with a bit of effort on your part. PD's tab-delimited export files, aside from Contacts which are good, have no header rows, which makes it rather hard for you to know what you're doing. But the "Other Converters" in the package were actually designed with PD 4.0 in mind and have been tested with it. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
