You might want to try Textmaker - it's a full fledged word processing application for Windows Mobile (the 2006 version is now up for grabs), and it's compatible with most Word functions. Expensive option though. __________________ "A planner is a gentle man, with neither sword nor pistol. He walks along most daintily, because his balls are crystal."

Both can export data for desktop database manipulation, but XSForms does NOT currently have a desktop version for data entry whereas HandDBase lets you easily complete forms on the desktop and PocketPC.

As far as transferring to Outlook, are you referring to importing the data into a custom template of some kind? You can export data from XSForms in a variety of formats, so it should work for you. Go to www.grandasoft.com to get the free/demo PC Designer and PPC Forms. You can give them a try to make sure they'll do what you need. Also, I'm working on a review of the Pro version, so stay tuned and ask any other questions you might have.
