Hello,

currently we work on DataMaker 2008 for Desktop PCs. It is not shipping yet. The non-public beta test will be launched shortly. The public beta test will start immediately afterwards.

DataMaker 2008 works with any ODBC or ADO database. It will ship with a very fast database driver for the dBASE database format, but you are not limited to that: You can use DataMaker to access databases from MySQL, SQL Server, IBM DB/2, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft Access etc. – all databases for which ODBC or ADO drivers exist.

You will find more information here:

Hello,

I use SprintDB for my iPAQ and it works pretty well. I've made some nice DB applications for my business that do exactly as I need. And I can access the data from Access and create reports using Crystal Reports.
