Using Microsoft Pocket Access
You can use Pocket Access to view and update data derived
from Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, and other
ODBC databases on your HP Jornada. You can open the
database and update data in the corresponding tables or you
can fill out electronic forms. Eventually, you should synchro-
nize the new information with a larger database on your
desktop PC or your corporate network. You can also use
Pocket Access to create new databases, tables, and SQL
procedures directly on your device.
Programmers can use Microsoft ActiveX™ Data Objects for Windows CE (ADOCE) and
Microsoft Visual Basic™ or Microsoft Visual C++™ to develop custom database
solutions. For more information on creating custom database solutions, go to the Microsoft
Web site at www.microsoft.com/windowsce.
To create a new database and table
