hand helds? Thank you very much.

Here is a regurgitated post of mine to the same sort of question. If you
Google this newsgroup for the relevant terms, you may find some good info.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

With SQL Server, there is software that synchs your mobile device directly
with SQL Server, SQL Server CE at
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/CE/default.asp

However, with Access, your choices are less perfect. Pocket Access is
nothing more than the database storage, with no provided means to get to the
data - Pocket Jet might have been a better name.

You can easily export Access data into html format, which can then be
displayed in IE on the PDA. This is what I currently do, however, there is
no way to get data into the PDA using standard IE. I tried using xml, which
worked fine with Windows CE 2000, however, the newest version of Windows
Mobile, 2003, introduced a bug that does not allow XML to be displayed (at
all) using XSL.

Visual CE looks like a promising development langage for databases, but I've
not tried it:

Here is an article on using embedded Visual Basic with ADOCE, which is ADO
for Windows CE, but is not an MS product, and is not cheap.

There are lots of Windows CE databases springing up; I've looked at a lot of
them, but haven't decided on one yet. Here are some of the more highly
regarded:

Also, Grandasoft has an interesting product.

Access is used to program the Palm Pilot. Data is collected and entered into
the Palm Pilot. The Palm Pilot can be programmed to manipulate the data to a
degree. The Palm Pilot is then synchronized with the Access database, passes
the data to the database and the database processes the data and saves the
data. Once saved, the data can be queried, displayed on screen and reported
with the full power of Access.

I'm sure they are. I'm sure you don't use Handbase either...there are
other tools to use to build Palm apps. No need to get upset.

Then you're not creating Access applications for the Palm Pilot then are
you?

Last time I looked Access only ran on the Windows operating system.
