Marty,

I really appreciate your response on this. I want to be sure that I make my
goal clear, though. The ideal situation would be to use one of these Windows
enabled hand-helds with Microsoft Access. When I perused the Windows Mobile
web site I saw references to Mobile Word and Mobile Excel...but nothing
about Mobile Access. It seems that it doesn't exist or isn't implemented. Am
I correct in deducing that?

If it's indeed the case that Access isn't available on these CE / Mobile
devices, then I'm a bit up the creek since I don't think my client wants to
pay me to learn .Net or Java. That's why I mentioned a DOS emulator and
Paradox for DOS or dBASE.

I looked at the features of Mobile Windows for hand-helds and I saw quite a
bit on e-mail and a tiny IE and games and phone books...but not much (at
least on the Microsoft site) on real-live business applications like
shipping and receiving.

I suppose that this isn't a strictly SQL topic, but that reference to SQL
Server CE kinda threw me. If one is going to use SQL Server CE then one must
have a SQL Server CE box. Then one can replicate data back and forth from
handhelds, right?

Regards...
