Does the device need to dial from the list...or simply lookup/update and display the data? Thanks, Mark P.S...A few days ago Rocky asked a question kinda similar...(Subject=Pocket Access )...(You can search the archives) In my response I listed 2 inexpensive apps that I had bought(sorry I don't have the names in front of me) that allowed to easily create apps/forms for an Hand held that would sync with an Access db. If you were just trying to display/update the info...it might be a very easy/inexpensive way to go. >From: <dmcafee at pacbell.net> >Reply-To: Access Developers discussion and problem >solving<accessd at databaseadvisors.com> >To: "Access Developers discussion and problem >solving"<accessd at databaseadvisors.com> >Subject: RE: [AccessD] Hand held device >Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 09:05:27 -0800 > >Well, I would recommend a device that uses Windows CE and Active Sync such >as the iPAQ. > >David > >-----Original Message----- >From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com >[mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Kath Pelletti >Sent: Friday, January 28, 2005 3:17 PM >To: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com >Subject: [AccessD] Hand held device > > >Hi everyone > >I have a client who is a tradesman who uses an access mdb which I developed >for him years ago.
