Is there a Palm based version of Access? I am currently
using HanDBase which has a conduit to synch with Access
but doesn't support autonumbers which makes synchronizing
more complex relational databases cumbersome. Any ideas?
Thanks

I use HanDBase on the PocketPC. Instead of creating new records on the PPC,
I do it in Access, saving them for use as placeholders. Then I sync them up.
Later when I need to "create" a record on the PPC, I use the next available
placeholder record. I rarely need to create more than 1 or 2 records on the
PPC, so having 5 as placeholders is more than enough.

I use Smartlist-to-go (Dataviz). It was formerly known as ThinkDB.
Very nice program. The only objection I can think of is it must be manually
synced with Access from the PC version of the file. It is not a problem,
but it is an extra step. You can work with the PC version of the file, but
it is not a full featured database like Access. It does have an
"autoincriement" filed that used correctly should handle what you want
