Mark, I don't know if there is a Filemaker mobile that will work on a pocket pc. Don't really need it to here at school, although I wouldn't mind if I could sinc both home and work onto my PPC. That could be useful, and might be possible, but I haven't pursued it mostly because I use XP at home and use a Mac at work. I use the time between tunings as a "mental health break" to walk up to my office and enter the data into the database. I've never been a 5-6 piano a day tuner. Never will be either. If I'm jammed, I write it down on a piece of paper. I'm not often that pressed for time here. It's not a conservatory.
