Question... importing from OLD Sidekick into Outlook 2003 :O

[Denise]

Please help.... If anyone can remember a program named sidekick that
interfaced with an handheld address book - I would greatly appreciate any
help in importing it into Outlook 2003.

My Mom has been using it since I can't remember and it still works with the
handheld device but we can't get it to print reports anymore.

So, I'd like to get all that data into Outlook without having to re-type it.
So we can do address and phone lists for her again.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

None... and the extension on the file is sdb which isn't recognized by
Access and I can't even get Crystal to read the reports it creates.

I know that Outlook 97 used to import sidekick.

And I believe Outlook 2000 was the latest that could directly import from
it.

It depends a bit on the file structure of the sdb-files. Can these be opened
in Notepad or Wordpad and still be readable? If so you could import it into
an Excel sheet and import that sheet into Outlook.
