Exporting/Importing Contacts as Comma Delimited Info

2 replies · 1,885 views · Started 08 May 2002

Hi All

Does anyone know of any utility/programme that allows you to export/import all of the fields used by the 9210 contacts database as a simple Comma delimited file.

Many TIA

I know that smallbase (from version 4) will import the contacts database (copy it to your card first).

You could import it into that and then export it as a different format?

Thanks for that.

I was actually wondering (as I was searching the web for a solution to my original question) whether Smallbase or Powerdata were better answers to the whole Contacts thing (which I really find very restrictive and not anywhere near as flexible/fast as it was on my old Psion).

Am I correct, in assuming that if you set up a database the way you want it in Smallbase, you would not have full interaction with the phone, fax & email facilities on the 9210?

Or... is it possible, for instance, to get the phone to use the Smallbase data as the current Contacts application does - particularly as a phone number database when the communicator is closed?

Many TIA
