Fernando,
seems like outlook should be able to mapo what is in the CSV
file to its adress book fairly easily.
Here is a description off Web:
http://email.about.com/od/outlooktips/qt/Import_Contacts_from_Excel_CSV.htm
I sounds like your difficulty may be the mapping of CSV columns to the address
fields in outlook.
This requires the first row of the csv file to have names of fields to go into
address book. If the CSV file does not already have them in the first row, you
can add them in yourself with a plain text editor like notepad.
Then use the last step in the above link, when importing into outlook.
" Click Map Custom Fields .... "
You fill in the column name used in CSV file,which needs to map to the address
book field name.

Tim,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion, never been to ehow.com but already
tried dba2csv, and it didn't work.
Funny thing, when I wanted to do it for a 2nd time, I couldn't log in
the dba2csv site.
That conversion was done online, now I'm downloading the app.
Problem is that it highly recommends an upgrade to Palm 6, which is
horrible. Been there and fortunately I was able to come back to v.4
Yesterday I left the machine working on CompanionLink, to Sync Palm 4
with Google Calendar. 30 hours later, my Google Calendar was empty.
Trying for a second time right now.
Oooops - just finished the Sync: again, there's nothing in Google Calendar :-(
And, unfortunately, I don't have any programming experience. Never did
anything with Visual Basic, I didn't even knew it was included in
Excel, and I never used Access (think it's something like the old File
Maker I still have in the power mac).
Shall install dba2csv, and see where it takes me to ...
Fernando.
