Palm PDB Beaming How?

[gwinn7]

I know that its very simple to beam PRC files between Palms, but I had thought it would be a trivial thing also to be able to beam PDB files. Unfortunately, I am not finding this feature available in the standard Palm 3.5 or higher OS.

What did I miss? Do I need to download another utility?

PDB's are gererally only available through specific applications. For example, WordSmith stores it's documents as .pdb files.

To beam a .pdb file you'll generally need to go to the application that allows you to access the file's data. In other words, to beam a WordSmith doc, you need to use the "beam" feature from within WordSmith. To beam address data you'll need to use the Address Book's beam feature (which allows you to select a category to beam (select "All" to beam all of the data when beaming by category).

This is not, of course, taking into consideration the possibility of a third party application providing additional beaming funtionality to your device.

I hope this helps.

Yes, it did thanks.

I developed a Palm Application that I wanted to try on my other PDA. Unfortunately, I have to purchase another utility or program library to add this feature. Sigh! So, it will have to wait for now. Anyhow, your response was appreciated.

Thanks again,

Hello,

Goto this address and download BeamPro. I think this is what you need:
