I am new to axim. Just recieved one yesterday and have a few questions. Can I import my Microsoft Access database of customers into my contacts? What about importing into excel?

I'm new too, but this is what I've been playing with for the last couple of days... from MS Outlook Contacts, you can Import an Access db, then sync into your Axim. Just go into Outlook, select File Import, and follow the screens. Let me know how it works for you. :)

I have tried to import from outlook, but I get an error message 1603. It tries to install something but gives me this message. Any ideas?

:D Have a look at http://www.biohazardsoftware.com/
Data on the run - allows you to run access db on a pocket PC.
I have just installed it and it works fine, basic but does the job.

I am on Windows NT4, and so I had to log in as administrator to install my import export engine from Out look. Once I done this, I went back to my regular login, did an import from Access and it works great. Thanks for all your help.
