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... `·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·-> Steve Erbach
