have to convert them into .pdb's (the palm's db format), but you can setup
HotSync conduits with an ODBC connection to sync a .pdb to a table within an
.mdb.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=258422220-17062003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
an older version of appforge, which is kind of limited it what it can do.
(No collections, or classes, etc.). It runs in VB, so you make a VB
project, and then you can compile it to a palm prc file. Works great, but
the version I have is really limited as far as actual VB capabilities. The
current version looks like you can do almost anything you can do in a normal VB
6 project (classes, collections, events, etc). But it's a little pricey (I
think it's around 8 or 9 hundred dollars).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

href="http://www.wopr.com">www.wopr.com</A>), but unfortunately the search
function is down at present, so I can't point you at anything
particular. Non-Palm OS PDAs can run a version of Access if they
run Windows CE, but Palm can only run things like
HandBase.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

PDAs<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone any experience of using PDAs on a large
scale. I am looking at the use of PDAs for database access for students for
example logging into internal student systems using a wireless
network.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Was wondering if anyone has been involved in
anything like this? Particulary in education.</FONT></DIV>
