Pocket PCs & Databases

[Guest]

The Dell Axiom (I've been told is a Pocket PC)
that can run wireless & use databases & Email.
I understand "Microsoft databases" can run on
Pocket PCs.

Is Access a DB will can run on a Pocket PC?

I'm looking to collect data & Email DBF files
to be Imported at Regional Offices. IF Lotus
Notes can also run on a Pocket PC, I'm ready
to make this work.

I currently use Regional Access DBs to send DBF
files via Lotus Notes for Importing at the Corporate Office.

Any insight welcomed.

TIA - Bob

While there's an application called "Pocket Access" for some (but not all)
Pocket PCs, it really doesn't give you any of the functionality of Access.

In addition to the the options mentioned in the second article, I'm also
aware of Pendragon Forms

Doug - Thank you.

The Client really wants me to research this & provide a solution. I'll look
into these. At any rate, I'd have to Program what I need in something other
than Access & then send DBFs to Access.

I've never used XML Files. I understand they can also be Imported into
Access.
Sure would like to continue using the DBF coding that has worked for 5 years.
