Hi!
Are there any database application on Palm? I need only 2 fields per
record, but one field is the memo type (around 500 words). It might be good
to accept Access file.
I tried to export to Excel but the memo is too long in one cell.
Thanks.

Try thinkDB. It does all this and more. www.thinkingbytes.com.

One key field and one memo field...

Hmmm. Sounds like a category in Memo Pad, to me.

Hi Sarawoot,

I have been using thinkDB and it has met all of my database needs. I think the major flaw it has is
that it doesn't allow you to layout your forms the way you want.

Ciao . . .

hi, i use HanDBase. uses half the amount of ram thinkdb does (or
somewhat near that) and u can calculate between different fields.
also, the accompanying desktop companion is just awesome. recommended
for few databases. u cant load a 370k app like thinkdb for a few small
dbs, can u? i think HanDBase does all i need it to do, give it a try

HanDBase has a library of some 700+ "applets" that are user created
applications of their database, all predefined, most for free, available at
their site. There is probably something already written there that you
could use. Check it out: http://www.ddhsoftware.com/gallery.html

Sounds like it's a perfect application for List DB by Andrew Low

http://www.magma.ca/~roo/list/list.html

List DB is freeware, and has only three fields per record. The user
may define two of those fields. Largest field, the undefineable one,
happens to be a memo field that may hold up to 4k per record. The
program also includes a desktop module that is quite well done and
there even versions for Mac and Linux, as well as Windows.

It's a suprisingly versitile and clever concept. It's described in
detail, along with about a dozen Palm OS data base development tools,
in the current issue of HandHeld Computer Magazine. I'm told it is now
or is about to be on the shelves of major book sellers such as
Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc.

Hello,

There are actually quite a few different Database applications
available that will sync with Access, I will give you a list:

Handbase for the palm and Handjet for the PC

Jfile for the palm and Jetfile Pro for the PC--

ThinkDB for the palm and ThinkDB Desktop for the PC

and maybe even CrannPalm.OCX

Other than not being able to line up fields individually, I think the
form design is quite good.
