As far as I know, there's no version of Access that runs on any PDA or phone operating system (not even Windows CE). For good information on effective use of newsgroups, see http://www.mvps.org/access/netiquette.htm -- you'll see that newsgroups are good sources of answers for specific questions. Do you have a question? -- Larry Linson, Microsoft Office Access MVP Co-author: "Microsoft Access Small Business Solutions", published by Wiley Access newsgroup support is alive and well in USENET comp.databases.ms-access "ngs" <bsnbsn_SNABELA_ofir.dk> wrote in message news:4cf38928$0$56785$edfadb0f (AT) dtext02 (DOT) news.tele.dk...

Somebody with experience in Access on PDA... |
Pilot that somehow interfaced with an MS Access DB on a PC.
Lacking Access on a PDA, a last-ditch fallback position might be
Remote-Desktopping into a PC that is running Access.
Dunno from the official RemoteDesktop app, but something called
TeamViewer does the job for letting my iTouch open up a screen on
one of my XP boxes.
Problem is scaling and screen size. The little PDA screen makes
it awfully tedious to do anything - although I guess an MS Access
app could be written with forms designed with a PDA screen in
mind.

Somebody with experience in Access on PDA... At one time, at least, there was a non-access product for Palm Pilot that somehow interfaced with an MS Access DB on a PC. |
was a complete programming environment.

Yeah thats the problem - small screens... My problem is: A man in a car should receive a message from home(Access) on his PDA, when some new job comes up on the same day he is out driving... Its just few lines on the small screen... |
out-of-the-box resources.
To wit, sending an eMail from an MS Access app is pretty
straightforward. I would even hope to find an instant messaging
API in Windows.
On the other end, the user would have either an email app that
checks for mail periodically (and, hopefully, has a filtering
capability so only selected messages get accepted) or an SMS app
that the Access app would send to.

Or send the email to a cell phone instead of the PDA if that's feasable?
Then the user gets immediate notification of the incoming txt msg (or
email depending on the service) without needing to interface with the
PDA at all.
