How to use old Palm files in Windows 8

 

Make a back-up copy of your Palm files (address, memo, calendar etc)

Go to Control Panel, put "Folder Options" in search at top right, then at Folder Options, click "view", then unclick "hide extensions for known file types".

Now when you access your old Palm files the file types will show as ".dat"
 
Old address file: change extension name from .dat  to .aba
 
Old memo file: change extension name from .dat to .mpa
 
Old calendar file: change extension name from .dat to .dba

Now use Palm 6.2 import function for each of calendar, contacts and memo
 
You can also back up these files by using Palm 6.2 export function to send the files to a memo stick. In export function, need to click "all".
