I really need to use Access on a Pocket PC

[Marco]

Hello. I really need to use Access on a Pockect PC.

I know that there's no access to Pocket pc, but I heard that are some third
parties that allow to use access databses on pocket pcs.

I need to import and export data between a pocket pc and a pc.

What program should I buy that allows me to do that? I tried some but
they're to complicated to use.ç

Thanks,
Marco

You''re going to have to completely redesign the application on the pocket
PC: all you'll be able to get there is the data from Access.

In addition to the the options mentioned in the second article, I'm also
aware of Pendragon Forms
http://www.pendragon-software.com/ and Visual CE from Syware, Inc

Thanks Douglas again for your suport about this topic.

I don't mind to delevop a quick access form to pocket pc, if it will allow
me share the data (sinchronize) betwenn my pc and pocket pc.

I have to develop something for my users to check some products and they put
the selected product in my main database.

Do you think that I can do this with Pendragon Forms?

Regards,
Marco

I've got very little experience with any of the products I listed, but I
believe it should be possible.

I've used Pendragon Forms a little bit; yes, it can be done but it's
moderately complicated and requires some setup. Pendragon Forms runs
both on the pocket PC (keeping a local database of what's been
entered) and on the host computer; an "ActiveSync" program
synchronizes data from the pocket unit with the database. The help
files and instructions are good, it's just a fair bit of work to set
up.
