using pocket pc with database with linked tables.

[Michael]

I have been trying to find a way to use a pocket pc with my company
database. The problem is before I can even try different programs, I have to
get the database into the pc. All my tables are linked to another database
that holds all the data, I have only my forms, queries and macros in the
database that i have on the desktops. When I import the database with the
forms into the pocket pc, the tables are not imported.
thank you
Michael

What happens if you try importing the back-end database (ie. the one on the
file server that has only the data)?

Michael, what you're doing seems complicated. I would suggest - if you
haven't done so already - also posting your question either to the
PocketPC forum at Brighthand (http://discussion.brighthand.com/) or
PocketPC Thoughts
(http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/index.php?sid=54f4b44a15d24bf64722eaacd71b67a2)
as there are some TERRIFIC experts in both those boards who can help
you with migrating a relational database to PocketPC/Windows Mobile.

Thanks Kyle..
I will head over there.. Tom Wickerath had suggested to load the database
where the data resides, that was the problem. I thought that I would be
using the forms that were used for my desktop, I have a lot to learn. I have
been looking at a number of programs, will post back with the one that seems
to work the best.
