G'day all,
Can anyone recommend an application/organisation that will allow me to =
create a database for PocketPC/ PalmOS and sync it with Access 97 on the =
Desktop?
This does not have to be a wireless application - too expensive!
I would be intersted in hearing from app. developers about this because it =
may?? involve some additional programming.
Background:
My name is Alistair Hart from Queensland Health (State Government Agency) =
in Australia. We deal with Dengue Fever (a mosquito borne disease) and =
are examining Pocket PC's/PalmOrganizers as a data collection tool for our =
field workers during outbreak conditions. We currently have a comprehensiv=
e relational Access 97 (SR2) database which we would like to sychronise =
with a(ny) database on Pocket PC/PalmOrganizers.
The ultimate goal being to save time over paper data collection because no =
2nd entry into desktop in Office and also better data integrity/quality - =
from less human error. We also want to be able to access the information =
the same day (but not at real time - too expensive) for querying and =
preparation of the next days mozzie control
work (ie: return from field, sync data and then query it in Access on the =
desktop ready for mapping).
Thanks for your time,
Alistair Hart
