>I am interested in hearing if anyone is linking any Visual Foxpro applications with a database on a Palm Pilot.

Not yet, but this is something I have planned for later this spring.

You will need to develop in one of the following languages on the Palm and then synchronize the data via the hotsync (serial) cable. I haven't done it yet, so I don't know the issues or hurdles.

Databases and Programming languages:

http://www.metrowerks.com/
http://www.developer.com/directories/palm/downloads/download_index.html
http://www.thinkingbytes.com/
and a number of others

Some sites for Palm Developers:

http://www.palmos.com/dev/started/
http://www.developer.com/roadcoders/
http://www.palmgear.com
Things are a bit easier with a Windows CE handheld since you can write an application with VB/VC++ and Pocket Access.

P.S. You should join the Palm forum here on the UT. Word has it that the sysop is a really nice guy. ;)
