>We need to create a database on a palm or a pocket pc, the data needs to be eailsy synchronised with a VFP6 application. Satellite forms looks good, but I believe that you need a licence for each palm user. Are there any other products that will do the job.

You are talknig two different platforms here. Palm OS and Windows CE (Pocket PC). I am not familiar with Palm OS but on the Pocket PC side you can create a program with the Embedded VC or Embedded VB toolkits (free from MS) using ADOCE and optionally Pocket Access or SQL Server CE. I have not had the business need to do a full PDA to VFP program but it should not be too difficult using ADOCE as the transfer mechanism, (there is no direct VFP/DBF counterpart in WinCE).

There are commercial programs that allow you to transfer and synch data to and from Acess and SQL Server.

If you are more specific on detailing your needs maybe we can offer some ideas.
