Palm data to IPAQ?

We bought a couple of IPAQ's recently to see if they would be suitable for a project we are just begining. The choices boiled down to using an IPAQ or a Table PC.

As part of the evaluation I wanted to switch over from my Palm Zire and use the IPAQ exclusively for a while. However HP/Compaq does not include ANY tools or support for doing this. I've discovered Pocket-Mirror on the Palm CD and installed it, however I can not see how to tell the Hotsync conduit to direct the data to Outlook 2003. My understanding is that once Outlook has the data I will be able to easily sync it to the IPAQ.

My system currently has Palm OS 4.1 and the Palm Desktop, Hotsync, Outlook 2003 and Active Sync installed. Along with Pocket-Mirror.

I believe I'm missing a small step which should have automatically configured itself. Has anyone been through this/have advice on how to get the data into Outlook?


Thanks

I did eventually. :} There is a utility on the Palm CD which allows you to export the info, tho it was a PTIA to get working properly. The utility is built by a company who sells a commercial version as well. If it would help I can try to look up the info : let me know.
