Palm Calendar Question - Importing from Sybase

[travis_redfish]

Hi All,
1st, I am totally new to Palm Dev.

I wanted to ask a question to get some direction before I go running down the wrong path.

I have a DB in sybase that has appointments that I would like to have show up on the users Palm calendar, My 1st thought would be to just update the calendar on thier desktop that gets synced with thier Palm. However, I dont know what database format the Hotsync program uses. The other option I thought of was to write
a custom conduit to get the appointments into thier Palm.

Any Ideas on which would be the best way to go, or if there is another better option.

Thanks a BUNCH!!
Pete

if you save the database in sybase to a comma separated format, then go to palm desktop and click import, then select the database, you should be able to import it to datebook. I know this works for address book.

Download the Conduit Development Kit (from Palm) and look at the code in Sample that deals with the data you're interested in. I used that to work up a little application I can use to update the PalmDesktop address book from my Outlook address book (and vice versa). I prefer the "Generic" to the MFC code but you can make up your own mind as to which works best for you.
