Hello, Jeff, thanks for these info, Yes I am very much interested, even yet in some software that should accept to synchronize - or transfer accurately Access simple relational databases to my Ipaq HP 4150 pocket PC (nice machine BTW). I did not find much time to try softwares but the one I downloaded was NOT a database management tool (no links). Why is it that Microsoft provide a transfer format for Access but I don't see real tools to use them (the same as the links and formula's in Excel, most is lost in the translation). Any good advice for a medium/low level computer guy.
