You may be up the creek on this. The last time I looked (which was 
AppleWorks 5) you can't export. Any serious database will allow at 
least a tab/comma delimited text export, which is what i did with my 
database, http://www.provue.com/panorama.html. I did have to muck 
around in Palm to get the fields which I wanted to export to align 
with Palm's fields, but that done, it was slick as a greased palm. I 
never did figure out how to import only those fields in an existing 
record which had changed data, so I leave that up to the lady who 
comes in three mornings a week to do manually. But I'm sure there's a 
Palm developers list which could answer a simple question like that.

I also can't believe there there hasn't been developed a shareware 
program to make the transfer from AW to Palm. Those are two common 
apps.

My most modern machine is a 2.5 year-old G4 Dual450 Tower, which is 
running on 9.1
