Calling all super brains,

I need some help figuring out how to make a form and use it on the axim. I have a question and answer type form for mobile workers fixing vehicles. I need some help with MS application and mobile use.

Free would be great (start up company) nominal fee OK. Contribution to this site would also be OK. Just need help.

If your a true MS pro and can show me how to make forms and use them on the axim then sync them back with all the previous work on a main PC then I need you.

I want to use a excel SS or access DB form for input of data that is yes no after reading a question and have it roll back up in a main Spreadsheet or Data Base for analysis and production validation.

I need help soon and any help would be great.

email me at VLS_info@vehiclelogisticservices.com
Thank you,
Curt

Please is there someone out there that can at least talk me through how you move a form to the axim and back to a main Data Base?

I would suggest you check out SoftMaker Office. Specifically, their PlanMaker program sounds like it would be exactly what you are looking for.

You might want to take a look at XSForms, which offers a free version of their forms package with PC links...I think with a little work you can make this do what you propose.

Kenster... Have you actually used XSForms/XSDesigner? I'm trying to figure it out but I can't seem to get past the actual breadboarding of the new form... IOW I can't view the newly designed form.

For database functionality, I have used SprintDB Pro, which has both a desktop and a handheld version, and which will sync Access databases between your handhelds and your PC.

More recently, I've been using MS Visual Studio for my database needs, but that would probably be more expensive and more technical than you need at this point. While trying to decide what I wanted to use, I considered Visual CE and HanDBase. both of which synchronize to an Access DB on the desktop if you want. Both of them cost $, though, and you'll have to see if you have to purchase the software for each PDA that you'll be putting your form on, or if you can design the form/DB on one PDA and then run it on multiple PDAs (actually, I think that's the way that Visual CE works, now that I think about it)...

If you wanted a more programming approach, you might try PPL, which incorporates DB functionality through SQLite. I don't know if you can synchronize to a desktop, though.

Anyhow, lots of information, I know. Hopefully you'll find a tool that will help you do what you want to do!
