what handheld supports access?

[Guest]

I have Office 2003 with Access. I have a database in Access that I need to be
able to load into a PDA or HandHeld computer. Is there a HandHeld computer or
PDA that supports Access? I've seen several that support the other parts of
Office i.e. Excell, Powerpoint, Outlook etc. Will they also support Access?

I have the Palm (couple of different models) and the Palm along with the
Dataviz Smartlist program I can handle Access files.

Hey Joe (man, that has a familiar ring to it), thanks for answering. Does the Palm PDA have to have a certain amount of memory, or do I just look for one that has "Dataviz Smartlist" already loaded on it. Also, have you had any trouble with it not being able to handle any particular database, or does handle any Access database? Thank you.

I think any of the current Palms will have enough memory to handle
Smartlist. Not all Palms have the same memory but many of the new current
models can be expanded and come with enough memory to handle almost anything
anyway.

Smartlist is a third party software and you buy is as a separate
purchase and install it onto your Palm. It is not hard. Part of it installs
on your PC and the other part automatically installs on your Palm when you
sync with your computer.

Hey Joe (there's that song again), thanks alot. You've been very helpful.
I'll check out the Palms and go from there, take care.

Any of the Windows CE 2003 machines will handle Access tables, since Pocket
Access is part of that Operating System. Remember though, that all your
forms and queries need to be recreated on the handheld using thirdparty
handheld database applications. You only get to sync up the data
