Possible solution not tested:

1. Export your Palm Desktop datebook in .dba format.
2. Import this file into your Yahoo! calendar.
3. Export your Yahoo! calendar in .csv format.
4. Import this file into your Outlook calendar.

Thank you for the quick response.. Have you tried the yahoo trick lately? I have heard it only worked in older versions?  Thank you
I can find an import export that works on my yahoo calendar.. Option is no longer there, maybe im having a mental block lol
i meant import is not there, sorry
I don't have a dba file to experiment with anymore, but here is another idea.

The .dba Palm file is really a .mdb Jet Database, take a copy of your file and change the extension to .mdb.
Then use this tool to extract to csv format:

Download the 0.5 release and attempt to open your .mdb file

Let me know?
this worked great, thanks
