Hello Evan

You may want to check out a product called Handbase.
http://www.ddhsoftware.com

It is limited of course, but it is surprising what can be done with it. When I checked it out it was the only relational palm dbm I could find, and I think I only paid $20 for it or something similar.

You can output a CSV from VFP and use the function detailed below to get the data into Handbase table.



HanDBase desktop can be called from the command line with various
arguments passed to it, making it useful for calling from within a
batch or script file. This file could automatically convert a series
or .CSV files to .PDB files and automatically set the file to install
on the next HotSync. Likewise, you could make a batch file that will
convert certain HanDBase files to convert to .CSV files called after
each HotSync, and then be able to access them via other programs for
editing. Here is the format for calling HanDBase Desktop from the
command line:
Format: handdesk argument1 argument2 argument3 ...





>>I'm looking for a way to download info from my VFP app to a Palm. I've been following Whil's articles that recommend SatForms. Has anyone actually done this? How difficult is it? What do I have to do (distribute?) so that my users are able to download to their Palms?
