If you run the Palm Desktop installation again, you should be given
the option to sync to the Palm Desktop rather than to Outlook. At
least I think that is the way it works....been awhile since I've done
that. Then after getting the data synced from the Palm Desktop to the
handheld, then run the installation again and choose to sync with
Outlook. Before doing this though, I would make a copy of the User
folder that has the data you want to retrieve. Look for it in a
location such as:

c:\Palm\UserFolder\

or

c:\Program Files\Palm\UserFolder\
