You'd need to go with a 3rd-party offering. On the Palm, check out Agendus at <http://www.iambic.com/agendus/palmos/>. The link function uses a coded token, often buried in the note section of either the appointment or the contact name, to generate a phantom path from one module to the other. If I remember correctly, the program above will put a token like [Ilvedson, David] into the appointment -note- field as a trigger mechanism. The bracketed link is not used directly, instead ties that particular appointment to a certain contact. I think Datebk <http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/> does something similar, but it's tokens are gibberish characters in the note field, like #5@)(4*. Since these tokenisms are visible on the desktop side, it can look pretty cluttered. The PPC version would require something like Pocket Informant, <*http://tinyurl.com/7bv5r*> Regards, Jim Harvey
