I'm an ancient Near Eastern studies student so I study a lot of classical languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Coptic, etc.). I've used a couple flash card programs on the PC, does anyone recommend a good one for Windows Mobile? A great feature would be if it could sync with a PC program, since that would make it easier for me to create flash cards in non-Latin scripts (like Greek and Hebrew) and then just sync them to my device.
I dont know of any that sync but lingvosoft (i think thats how its spelled) has a WIDE array of language software for windows mobile devices, i like their programs, they provide free demos that are full versions of the program, and they have everything from flash cards to full speaking translators... I've only used the flash card program for bulgarian, but I was impressed...
I hope i've been helpful...

Edit in excel (or notepad) then replace file.
If you want syncing then look for another software that lets you sync 2 files back and fourth.

Hi Guys
I hope someone can help here, my Kaiser has office mobile but does nto have access built into this package
Is there a version of MS Access for WM6 at all and if so where can I find it?
Thanks
TW
www.kaione.com
sprintdb is probably the best option, but their sync is not yet compatible with active sync 4.5!!!!
Will this work with MS Access 2003 files though?
I use a Access DB a lot for one application and rather than converting query results to XLS files to view on my kaiser can i view access files while out on the move.
I am not worried about synch functions as i will simple upload the file to the device.
Check out www.syware.com they have database products. I used their product for several years when I was on the road.
You can get Access for windows mobile, i have a TYTN2 from orange UK and it is pre loaded with office, word, excel, powerpoint and access. I'm not sure where you can get an upgrade but it must be out there.
HandBase from ddh software is my favourite. If you get the professional version ($40) it comes with a PC sync conduit and forms designer. You can then link MSaccess tables directly to tables on your device and when you activesync they sync up too.
Worth downloading the demo.

Can anyone recommend a person who could write an excel based program that could be copied to a WM devise? I am new to this forum and do not have the knowledge or the time to develop the program, but i am willing to pay for it.
Thanks

Why not install office on your mobile. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310832
Or flash a ROM with office installed, most do

I agree, both are a great solution, but this project is not for myself. This project is more for job. This board has given me an idea for my customers, which do not own a Tilt. If this excel file was turned into a .cab file, my customers could add it to their PDA devise.
I'm not that familiar with program creation within a WM devise, but after lurking around this board for the past 6-9 months, I thought someone would know!
This is not a tilt specific CAB. It's a Window Mobile 6 version it cab go on WM6 any device.

Dave
I believe what you are saying is that a .cab can be installed on any WM devise. I agree. What i need to do is create the .cab file.
Yes you are correct. CAB files can go on any device.
I'm still unsure on what your requirements are. Do you want a copy of Excel to install on WM6 devices, then that's what I posted first time round? Nearly all standard WM and PDA's have a version of office installed, anyway.
Or, are you wanting a program like Excel Mobile but with "extra" features.
I think you need explain what your requirements are (without giving too much away, if you don't want to), so we can build a better picture of what you want.
Dave
You raise excellent questions as i'm not sure what is available. Unfortunatly, i cannot speak the language of this forum very well and am unsure of options available.
Currently, i have an excel spreadsheet with the calculations complete, but was unsure of how to create an "engine" to drive the program if the end user did not have excel available. This excel file i've created uses basic calculations which produce a number generated by data entered by end user. I am assuming an engine, or what i call a "cab" file is required!?!
Also, I'm not married to the idea of using excel and am open to using other programs if nessesary.
Am i making things a little clearer?
Thanks
like daveshaw said, most wm devices already come with excel in it. and if your customer does not have excel on their devices, then they can install it using the cab files
It sounds to me like you want to take a specific spreadsheet that was created using Excel, and somehow compile it as a program that doesn't need Excel to run. I don't think this is possible. You can't drive a car without its engine.
If you really wanted to pursue that route, I think what you'd need is someone who can dissect and analyze your spreadsheet, and rewrite it in another language (like C++ ), which can be compiled into a self-contained, executable file. Wish I could help you there.
I think your only realistic option is to install Excel on all the WM devices.

Everyone, thanks for you help. Sensei909 has figured me out. It sounds like i need someone to who can rewrite this in another language. Can anyone point me in that direction....Website, company, friend???
Re:
Hello, few questions:
1) What devices will your customers use?
2) If they are Windows Mobile-based, what versions are here?
3) Do you have Excel Mobile on your Tilt?
4) Did you try to open your spreadsheet using your Excel Mobile?
5) If your spreadsheet is created using Excel 2007 on desktop, did you install Office Mobile 6.1 from Microsoft site?
Build a java midlet? Almost all phones have java. I can see it doing basic calculations very easily.
Fairly new to the latest incarnation of WM and am just getting to grips with a TyTn II which I've bought that overall I'm quite impressed with. There are a couple of issues that I'm having with it that probably stem from a lack of familiarity with WM and also from drawing comparison with Palm and Nokia devices which I have used previously as PDAs. Any comments to avoid me wasting hours trying to find out how to achieve the potentially unachievable would thus be much appreciated:
1) Synchronising - files/folders: My previous Palm handled this QUITE well where MS Office type docs were concerned (Documents To Go) and even the Nokia Phones seem to do what I want to achieve better than I can manage with the TyTn just now. Essentially, I want to be able to synchronise the TyTn with a folder on the PC that contains JUST a number of Office type documents which I want to synchronise. Currently, no matter what settings I opt for I cannot do this. I know I can drag and drop from the File Manager part of Windows Mobile Device Centre (Vista PC) but that will not achieve automated synch for changed versions etc. Currently I select Synch Files (which is not selected by default on WMDC) and then move the files I want copied into the device into that folder. OK so far. Yet, when I hit Synch it then seems to insist on copying EVERYTHING on the phone into that folder on the PC too!!!! That makes a snych quite a long process and essentially all I want to synch is the 8-10 Office docs I want. Is this beyond WM? I would have thought this a relatively basic requirement which even Nokia with its Briefcase folder seems to be capable of doing. I have tried deleting all the non-Office files out of the PC file synch folder that WMDC created and then uses but then of course that just result in them being taken off the phone when I Synch!!! I've scoured Help, the Manual and numerous sites trying to find away round this but so far I do not seem to be able to synch files unless I synch everything
2) Notes (Categories v Folders): I use Notes on a PC a lot and because I use so many I tend to have them bundled in categories. Despite what I try though I do not seem to be able to get any semblance of order to them when they come across to the TyTn which just shoves them all in 'My Documents' (this makes it a real pain when using Explorer on the device too as there are 200 or so notes to scroll through when looking). I've tried moving the notes on the TyTn to Folders on the device after they are copied over but that just seems to cause a second copy on the PC to be created with the 'note title/folder' format upon the next synch?? Outlook clearly uses categories in a way that does not seem to be replicated on WM/TyTn and as such it seems you can only achieve a long unorganised list of notes on the target device. Using folders on the device does not then read across well to Outlook.
I am conscious that there are apps out there that might allow better management of the Notes problem (Phat Notes) and there may be better folder/file synch options with software like Documents To Go but I am wondering if I'm missing something with the basics here that mean I should be able to do what I want. It does seem odd that selecting Synch Files should result in such an arbitrary copying of the whole content of the device when on may devices it is there merely to ensure you can create a Briefcase type folder to synch just what YOU want.
I have not yet upgraded to the new WM 6.1 either so not sure if that provides any solutions. I plan to do that shortly (and am assuming that if I do the WM 6.1 I won't ALSO need the ROM upgrade that was put up by HTC before that?). Any help much appreciated
Use GoodSync (Link). It allows Bi-directional sync, allows you to select folders to synchronize and has a host of other features. There is a free and pro verion of goodsync so check it out and decide which one you want.
IMO it can take care of almost all the things that you mentioned ...
Whats wrong with Outlook? It does Notes/Favs/Tasks/Calender/Contacts/E-mail...I mean theres not much it doesn't do besides SMS and Calling from computer. These are really easy to use and customize files to push back and forth when connected to Activesync.
Empgamer: I've got the same issues with WM6,1 as you described. I'm genuinely amazed that Windows Mobile syncing to windows (Vista, so no active sync for us) doesn't work out of the box when managing edited documents on your PC & PPC. The PalmOS, with Documents To Go, always did an excellent job of this. As for the notes, I can't even get Mobile Office OneNote to sync with OneNote on my PC! What's the point of that?
Anyway, I'd be very curious as to how you solved your issues; I'm currently spending countless hours trying to get the functionality on my Windows Mobile device that I took for granted on PalmOS. (BTW, DocsToGo doesn't support syncing on Windows Mobile! Seriously, that's one of the main things DTG had going for it. I'll never understand what developers think when they come out with these products.
Hi there! This is my first post and, first of all excuse me for my english .
As a PC user, I always tried to have a good working PC, like all of us I like a smooth and fast performance, no errors, no spyware/virus, no registry issues, no useless hidden (or not)files/folders, no useless programs starting up with Windows, etc, etc. A year ago I started to experiment this: A clean Win XP installation and no more installations (except for an antivirus), but use of so called "portable software", many of them are .exe files only (you know, those created for use in thumbdrives). So no folders creation, no registry entries, no nothing. Perhaps I loose some system integration, but my Win XP installation keeps almost clean.
I tried to do in a similar way with my Tilt. Since I have no portable version of the phone software I decided to install the programs I use like audio players, games, utils., etc. in the micro SD card, then I do a hard reset to get rid of the bloatware, the folders (many programs even installed in SD card creates folders in the phone´s memory) and registry entries of the installed programs, once the phone is working properly I test the applications on the SD card (executing them from there), if they work ok I make the respective shortcuts in Windows/Start Menu/Programs, and that´s it.
I only want to share what I´m doing now, if it is good for someone, good.
Hi, Maybe someone can help, I have searched through google, microsoft forums and here - no luck so far :-(
I got Vista Hope Premium, Office 2007 (home and sudent) and X1 ;-), unfortunately Outlook was not supplied with X1 so....
how the hell can I open notes from my phone (*.pwi) on my laptop and desktop?
I am afraid this is lost case :-( seems to me ti was mistake to by WM device instead of Android :-(
HELP! and thanks
http://www.pocketpcaddict.com/forum...t-read-pocket-pc-word-document-my-laptop.html
found googling for "pwi open on pc office 2007
Seen it already but it has nothing to do with my problem :-(
Vista does not have ActiveSync anymore.
I do not have problem with Word files.
So link you gave me is irrelevant :-(
I have seen almost all there is in the net about pwi files - if no one here knows than simply it is not possible to achieve :-(.
At the moment it is not possible to read *.pwi files in Vista unless one has full Ms Outlook (not supplied with X1) and it is possible to open them in Outlook only not in Windows :-( seems to me that because of that a lot of users is "suffering".

BTW, when I bought my previous HP PDA's there was a copy of Outlook included in the box, I supposed this was included with the Win Mo license but obviously I was wrong.....is some other PDA manufacturer still providing it ?
What do you need, a copy of outlook for PC? or for WinMo?

For PC, to replace Windows Mail, that doesn't support notes, contacts and calendar sync from WinMo devices.
I've just sold my old iPaq on ebay, I should have kept the Outlook installation CD with me !
I do not want Outlook I have spend money (quite a lot) on X1, I bought (earlier) Office 2007 without Outlook as I do not need such a big application just for calendar/contacts and mail (way to confusing). Now, Nots that I love in my X1 are not really usable if I can not open them on my PC, edit, send to someone who just want to click and have them opened.
Is there anything out there that would have the same features but would not require MS Outlook? Almost everyone has Ms Word... so a mobile application whose files could be opened by Word would be great!
Pwi files are only opoened by Ms Outlook - it is not really fair by MS... but.... what can we do? Just buy Android or iPhone next time

I quite agree with you, I would add it's pathetic that MS doesn't include any small PWI viewer/converter in Vista (up to XP, Active Sync did it)
A dirty workaround could be to install Agile Notes as standard Notes replacement on the mobile, as this tool has the capability to save note in RTF format (readable with MS Word)

Why dirty? Could you be more specific?
Will this app. allow me to save text and drawings/hand writing? And than open it as in PDA on PC?

Dirty because RTF format is less compact than PWI and because this tool takes longer to start than the standard note writer (I've installed on my X1 but never used for this reason, when I need to write down a note I need to do it quickly)
Honestly I don't remember if it can save also drawings, just have a look
http://www.agilitylab.com/index.html
BTW: it's also freeware !
I have just installed it. It's ok but! it does not allow for handwriting and drawing :-( This is the most important feature for mi in notes app.
If you guys have anything that will do it and will allow to open itself on PC (without Outlook!!! ), pls let me know.
For normal notes I can always use Word Mobile.
