[dba-Tech] Access on Tablet PC

Brenda,
Thanks for the response.

This particular app doesn't have much for the user to do besides clicking
icons, picking from combo box lists or checking checkboxes. There is rarely
a need for typing (one notes field which is rarely used).

Do you think clicking/picking from a list is more difficult on a tablet?

John

One of my databases is absolutely awesome on a tablet without modification.
The handwriting recognition allows paramedics to enter their narrative on
ambulance runs without typing !  But other things are harder to do with a
pen than with a mouse.  I think the application should be looked at for
usability on a case-by-case basis.
