Pocket Access does - or rather, DID - exist, only I don't think it's ever been on Pocket PCs. I know for sure it was on the older Handheld PCs - the clamshell things, like the Jornada 720; I used to own one. I sold it to get my Axim. :approve: It even had Pocket PowerPoint too, and that was back in what... 2000? It's taken so long to even get PowerPoint on our modern Pocket PCs, and even that is only a viewer...!

I can't remember if Pocket Access synced with ActiveSync though. I think it did? :)

Come to think of it, that Jornada was a really nice little computer... its a shame it wasn't supported too well software-wise, and didn't get updated much. :( I guess its because it came out around the start of the whole handheld "era". But yeah, it had all the Office stuff. I wonder why they didnt bother with Access on the new machines? :rolling:
