QUESTION POSED ON: 15 October 2004
We have an online application so our users can deal with and share their agenda, tasks, and contacts. We need to be able download and import info through a GPRS connection into the local agenda/task/datebook of the Palm. Are there programs that we can call from our ASP script?

>
The approach I'm most familiar with is to store this sort of data in a Java database on the Palm. To do that, you'd use SQL to populate a table on the server, then sync it to a corresponding table on the Palm. We've done this using our own Java-based PIM rather than the Palm one. However, the approach you describe should work, too. I'm not familiar with any programs available to do it directly from an ASP script, but writing the file yourself should work. Hope this helps.
