Hi,
I am using a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) to collect researc data. I have created the forms for my questionnaires on the Visual basic. net. I have created a database in Ms Access to connect to these forms and controls.I have further deployed the forms to run on the PDAs. My questions are;
a) How do i save the forms and tables on the PDA from VB.net and use them in the field
b) As the data is being collected, how do i view the tables or my data
c) How do i download the data from the PDAs onto my laptop for analysis
Thanks
Vincent

I had my first experience with pda last month. To copy the program on your pda it's easy. Connect to you pda and copy the executable somewhere on the hard disk.
Access isn't supported on pda only sdf-files(SQL Server CE: sql-server compact edition databases) will work. I think your program using access won't work on the pda, correct me if I'm wrong.
To download the data from the pda, I'm getting to that one of these days(copying the sdf file and getting the data out of this database).
Hope my comment helps.
