Ben: Again my thx. i dont use the TREO for recording purposes often. But now I have 3 files from my 94 year old mother that I MUST be able to access. It doesnt sound as if the problem will be solved by emailing them to myself as file format will remain the same. Do you know how to reach out to other PALMers to see if they know of a way to reformat those files to mp3 or some other usable format?? Benj |
