Palm OS/WinMo Hardware

[#1]

I was using Palm Desktop as my contact mgr on my VISTA PC.

VISTA PC drive crashed, but data was saved and loaded on new PC.

I downloaded & installed Desktop V 6.2.2 on new Windows 7 PC, but the process did not find my old contacts file.

I have located two key files, "address.mdb" and "address.mdb.bak" that are dated just a day before old PC crashed, but I cannot figure out how to load this data into Desktop. Import process does not seem to support the .mdb or .bak formats.

Alternatively, can anyone tell me the name of the file(s) where the Desktop data should be?  If I can find those files I might be able to place them in the directory where desktop is looking for them.

Thanks.

Palm Desktop 6.2 is installed on my Vista laptop, and the address.mdb file can be found here:

C:\Users\WyreNut\Documents\Palm OS Desktop\<my Hotsync account name>\address

You might need to create a user name identical to your original HotSync Account name so the proper folder can be found.

Thanks.  I set up the .mdb file in the directory tree as you sugested but Desktop does not seem to find it.  Is there no way to just instruct desktop to open the file I want (assuming that the .mdb is the standard file where the data is stored)
