Roland Scherrer’s dba2ics.exe at http://ical.gutentag.ch is now free - and it works very well.

If you want to use the palm2CSV converter at http://www.kmoser.com/palm2csv/ - which requires the .dba files from Palm Desktop version 4.# - I use a Treo 600 and it synchronizes happily to DT4.# on one machine and DT6.# on another machine. This tells me that there is only one format for the files on the Treo - and thus it should be possible - even if you are using DT6.# - to install / reinstall DT4.# to obtain the correct format .dba files for the converter.

Every thing works but the time and dates are wrong. It’s showing the date to as the previous day, and showing the time 5 or 6 hours later

Another option:

1). Install Linux. Give it a try, it’s getting easier all the time. You can run it for free inside a virtual
window as a “guest host” on Virtualbox. See http://www.virtualbox.org. All you need is some disk space.

2). Transmit the pda file to the Linux system. Either set up a shared directory or email it to yourself.

3). Install the jpilot application on linux. It will import a pda file and export an ical file.

4). Transmit the ical file back to your pc or mac.

Just being able to get the data out into a readable format was an immense help, many thanks!

Kevin, if you download Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and use it to export your Palm Datebook to Datebook Archive format, you should have no problem converting that file to CSV using the Palm2CSV website: http://www.kmoser.com/palm2csv/.

I’m really not having any luck finding a way to do this now. I have 64b windows 7, and palm desktop 6.2.2
This command line program will not run on 64 bit windows. Other programs and the yahoo method appear not to work with palm desktop 6.2.2 Palm2Google gives a microsoft.jet.oleDb.4.0 not registered error, and the site has no info on a solution, just asks for info from me. Also I’d like to not pay a full price for a software I will use only once.

There’s an online converter here that converts Palm calendar/datebook archive files (.dba format) to CSV:

Nothing to download or install, and it’s free.
