How to import your contacts in Lotus Organizer
|
|
Information
|
Your Psion allows you to carry your Contacts database where ever you go. But wouldn't it be nice if this information was also available in Lotus Organizer for OS/2 Warp on your desktop computer? It is possible to export data from the Psion's Contacts database and import this information in the Adress section of Lotus Organizer.
Please note: This 'how to' guide was based on version 1.6 of Lotus Organizer. The recently introduced version 1.7 seems to have an annoying bug. Import of comma-delimited files will crash the Organizer program! It is possible to import your data in the previous 1.6 version and copy the entire datafile (*.OR4) to the new location. Version 1.7 will work with this file. You might also use the new Contacts Viewer program I've written (see usefull utilities) for a description of this program. There's also a short 'How to-guide' on this page.

It is not (yet) possible to do a full synchronisation, but this guide describes how to get your data into Lotus Organizer. Please note: Version 1.7 of Lotus Organizer has a bug in the import function. This guide was based on version 1.6 which will work OK.
