Forms are designed and maintained on a desktop computer; records can be viewed or edited (add/change/ remove) on either the desktop system or Smartphone device. Once the database application is developed, records can easily be transferred between the desktop and phone using a built-in ODBC driver. This feature also allows data to be imported into FoneDB from existing ODBC database tables. FoneDB applications are developed with a set of common controls: labels, edit boxes, check boxes, and selection boxes. Data can be formatted as text, integer, floating point, currency, date, or time. <br /><br />Using FoneDB is easy. Data can be viewed in list mode (one line per record), view mode (single record, read-only), or edit mode (single record, read/write). Selection boxes can be manipulated with up/down, left/right buttons. Data can also be sorted and searched. FoneDB is currently in beta test. The final product will ship in Q3 2002."
