I am thinking about giving my wife a PalmPilot for Xmas. She has to
juggle a lot of data in her nutrition consulting business. She will
need a simple database program to maintain all that data. Since I am
familiar with the Filemaker, I was thinking about Filemaker 8 Mobile.

But my question is: Can Filemaker Mobile 8 be used as a standalone
database program on a PalmPilot, or does it operate exclusively in
tandem with a PC based FM database application?

Does anyone know?

Thanks

George

The latter.

However there is a good stand-alone database program for the Palm platform,
called JFile.

I might also point out that Palm recently demonstrated a Treo running (gack)
Windows Mobile. Makes me worry about the future of the Palm OS.
