Hello- I've got a question that I hope this forum can take some time for. I've been bounced around to a couple of places and I'm starting to get pretty confused. The general idea is to get information over to the palm, simple right? Well, I had the idea that to keep it simple I would just use the existing pc-side files that the standard palm software uses. Yes, I can import stuff into them until I'm blue in the face but that doesn't do me much good. What I need is something that can occur programaticly such that a process I kick off every night stuffs everything into the files so they are ripe for a morning hotsync. Well, to my surprise, the pc-side files (I'm particularly interested in address.dat) are certainly _not_ in any sort of easily designed format. So far the best I've gotten is an terse filespec that I'm having a hard time applying from someone who took the time to sweat out the details and this from the palm website """"The desktop data files (*.dat, *.aba, *.dba, *.tda) are the result of serialized MFC objects, even the files on the Macintosh. The format of the serialized objects produced by MFC is controlled by Microsoft, and is not currently documented by them. The way that data is obtained or put into the file is through the use of the MFC objects using the API in the Conduit SDK. This is accomplished by using \condsdk\src\basemon.cpp and basetabl.cpp."""" now I've downloaded the conduit sdk and I'll be looking through it today in hopes of a solution but I'm starting to get the idea that maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. could you give me a nudge in the right direction?
