Another Alternative for Pocket Data
abcDB packs punch in a small package
Here's another one for the PocketPC users searching for a replacement
for Pocket Access. abcDB Pro works with databases in the Pocket Access
format, which means that it can take advantage of ActiveSync's ability
to synchronize those databases with Access databases on the desktop. PocketSoft
has crammed a lot of functionality into the tiny package: a full table
designer, a query designer that includes both grid-based and SQL design
modes, and even a forms package complete with drag-and-drop control placement
and reasonable defaults for autoforms. The forms package supports dropdown
and grid controls for a true relational experience. For a good, solid
database package that fits into a small form factor, this one is hard
to beat.
