Does Access work with Hand Helds? 1

[Mack2]

Does anyone know if Access works with Hand Helds? I would like the hand held to have an access database on it, and then at the end of the day sync with the main database back at the office? Is this possible with Access. I know it is possible with .NET

THANKS FOR ANY INPUT!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't believe there is a version of MS Access for Windows Mobile but presumably you could create a .Net frontend to an Access database for entering and synchronisation of data....

I've got Powerpoint and Excel on my Palm, not sure about Access though....

Greetings.

I have vague memories of a lightweight access program for palm. I do not remember the name of it, so search the palm website for it. It was/is not a full fledged Access, so you have to redesign forms and all that using their interface which was disasterously complicated to say the least.

I think you should take up Mack2's advice and use a .Net front.
