Using Microsoft Pocket Access

You can use Pocket Access to view and update data derived from Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, and other ODBC databases on your HP Jornada. You can open the database and update data in the corresponding tables or you can fill out electronic forms. Eventually, you should synchro- nize the new information with a larger database on your desktop PC or your corporate network. You can also use Pocket Access to create new databases, tables, and SQL procedures directly on your device.

Programmers can use Microsoft ActiveX¨ Data Objects for Windows CE (ADOCE) and Microsoft Visual Basic¨ or Microsoft Visual C++¨ to develop custom database solutions. For more information on creating custom database solutions, go to the Microsoft Web site at www.microsoft.com/windowsce.
