PDA 's and Pocket Access

[MrMcFestoe]

I have a db on my main pc but it would be good if i could have it with me all the time for looking up customer information, and making alterations on site, when returning to base could it update the main db ?

I need to know if pocket access will run my db, and if the main db can be updated from a PDA.

Also a make and model for a good PDA, HP do one with a keyboard all ready attached has anybody used these, and are they any good.

Thanks

i was very nervious like u finding a good pocket access.
and i recommend you to use the DBanywhere, which
23.95 dollars and free for trail for 15 day.
this software is pretty good, and the best funtion, is
you can built user forms.
