Hi all, I'm not even a newbie yet in pocket pc.
So here's the problem I have to solve!

My client has an accounting applications which works with DBFs.
He wants to introduce the pocket pc technology while on the road. So what ever he does needs to be kept in the pocket pc, maybe SQL CE, and sync into de DBFs files.

Here's my idea:
I thought about making this program plus a windows application that will write the SQL CE data into the DBFs files while the syncronization proccess.
So, the questions are:
- is that poossible?
- is there an easier way to do it?

What do I need to know in order to start, I already created the "Hello Pocket World Application"

TIA
 
would suggest;

If the data has to reside on the PPC storage, use the Access ODBC
drivers to create data transfers to and from the PPC (Access odbc
drivers are on all windows computers and can generate access files
without requiring the installation of acess)

In addition to ppc tools to develop pocket access database solutions,
there are a number of access compatable database apps around.

If the PPC has connectivity, use foxpro or other dbf compatible tool to
generate active web pages to serve data and accept data input from the
ppc user using pie.
