Access db application that works with WM5?

chanmock · 11-30-05, 02:51 PM

I have a new x51 with WM5. On my computer I have an Access database that contains addressbook type info. I would like to download and view the database on my dell axim. I understand that WM5 no longer supports pocket access. Does anyone know of any pda program that will allow me to read and manipulate Access 2000 files on my handheld?

DataontheRun from Handango might do the trick

you would probably need to buy an existing application tested on wm5, or have one written for you that converts the data into a sql server ce database, read by a custom-built application.

according to the link it will work on wm5 devices, but because Activesync4 doesn't contain the database convertor you'll have to wait till december if you want to sync your databases (when MS will provide the new connector)

I was told by several sources that microsoft was no longer going to support the translation of databases to WM5. It is great to hear that they will put out a new connector in mid Dec. There does not seem to be any reasonable way to use existing databses unless the new database converter is released.
Thanks
