Hi,
I'm not a developer, but I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction.
I've created a database using SprintDB Pro to track my DVDs, loans, orders etc and I have been using it for about a year or so. I would now like to be able to update the database tables from my desktop computer and synchronise them with my Pocket PC and vice versa.
I understand that ActiveSync does the conversion between MS Access and Pocket Access. However, the whole synchronisation process is not very straightforward, at least to me.
I really would like it to be as simple as synchronising my ListPro files, for example, and I have no requirement for the database to be in any particular format. So long as it is a relational database that supports forms on both the desktop and PPC.
So, should I persevere with SprintDB or should I look at another database? If so, which one? (I also have the desktop companion).
Thanks in advance.
