It is easy to get at a database with forms if you have a wireless modem, if you don't, you would have to use something like AppForge's VB forms with a PDB database which is essentially simple tables. http://www.appforge.com No way to install Access on the PDA, but with a wireless modem all sorts of options open up via the net. There is no Mobile Access probably due to RAM restrictions. I haven't messed about with SQL server CE. . Or you if you need a small footprint database and ODBC depending on your PDA ram try CodeBase for Windows CE with VB http://www.sequiter.com/products/windows_ce/ I have used CodeBase years ago with C and DOS.
