I use a palm device and synch it to 3 different pc's. If I read your question correctly, you do not have a Palm device but you use the Palm OS and would like to move the calendar to a new/different pc. I did a little searching and found the User info for my data in:

Program files>palmOne>J

J is the first letter of my User name. All my info is showing up in that folder. As MikeL suggests, download the software and install it. Then, I think you could just paste the User name folder from the current installation to the new one and be good to go. Kind of a manual synch. Just to be sure, you might want to give my suggestion a try on a different pc before you format the one you plan to wipe.

thanks a lot for the info, I'll give it a try, the advantage that the calendar of the palm desktop has over another is that it can manage calendar for diferent users at once.

Interesting, easg. I never gave Palm a thought for using multiple users on a common calendar. I've been asked for solutions to that problem before and other than MS Exchange (much $$!!) I've not had an answer. Might have to look at this further. Could you elaborate on how you share the calendar? Is it just a common network share with the calendar installed on one pc? Does each user need the Palm OS installed?

Yes I'm in the same boat as Panama Red, I'm currently looking for a similar solution, please elaborate more.

ETA: How hard would it be to sync from a remote location?
