Microsoft Access for WM6

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

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.

how to open .pwi files (from WM app Notes) on Windows 7?

I have some important drawing notes on WM side, app Notes, and i can't open them on Windows 7 :-(
There is on problem to open .pwi file on my desktop with Word (Win XP + Active Sync),
but the idea is to make them on shift (WM side ) and open on shift too (W7 side)

you use MS outlook, once you have selected to sync pocket notes in sync manager

What do I do if I do not have Ms Outlook? :-(
My Office 2007 is Home & Student (no Outlook in it - I do not really need it anyway) and my WM device is supplied without Outlook as well - any ideas?
Is there any other app. that would do as Notes but would be easy to open on average Vista or Win7 system?

Any update? I am having a similar issue.

Microsoft provide a time-limited trial version of Office. This should at least enable you to synchronise the notes across.

M S office is the only program I can find to read pwi.file that have been hand written..what i do is to drag the note from outlook onto my desk top..open a PDF creating program like "nitro" and conert it to a PDF file then anyone can open it and read and you can also email the note as a pdf...

just use microsoft word or wordpad associate the .pwi with one of those programs.

It will not work :-(

ABC Amber Text Converter is what you guys need to convert the pwi to many avaliable formats

NEXT!
ABC converts the .pwi sketch to PDF format with a giant ABC AD above a STILL not properly decoded batch of code.
Next idea please?

well it might be too late to answer but the solution is
just go to control panel and let the pc be showing the file extensions (i don't think need to tell how)
then go to the *.pwi file and rename it to *.txt (where * is the file name commonly)
and know what you are done
i just figured it out when had this problem ...
cheers !!!

A good referrals whispers1 !!
glad to see you still exist in xda-developers

Problem with PWI files

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.

[Q] Sorry :) but need to ask - Any way to sync with Microsoft Money

I know this is a long shot, but the only thing I miss when I upgraded to GalaxyS from my TouchHD is that I am not able to sync with my MicrosoftMoney. I have tried many possibilities but there isnt anything that allows me to have a selected view of my desktop MicrosoftMoney application on my phone and edit it on the phone and sync once in a while with my desktop application back.
I know google will never release anything which makes talking easy for microsoft products - we know how outlook syncing is difficult. But anybody has any workarounds to this?
Please share if you have any ideas.
Thanks

There are a few apps that allow you to use your PC from the phone. Not sure how goof they are but it may be a workaround. (use MS Money on the PC direct from the phone).

Microsoft hasn't released versions of Money since 2007 0.o And honestly, you are the only person I have EVER heard of using it (maybe why they stopped)
Have you considered upgrading to an actively maintained product?

Direct Sync between Thunderbird and Android without Google

Hey there,
While still waiting for DHD to come out I decided to look for a solution that would sync my Sunbird calendar and my Android device without using Google as the middle man. Just when I thought that was not going to be possible (and was already beginning to set up a Google account) I found this:
MyPhoneExplorer:
fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php
According to the website, it has the following features:
* Adressbook - with direct sync to Outlook, GMail, Windows contacts, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Lotus Notes and Tobit David
* Organizer with calendarview and direct sync to Outlook, Google, Sunbird, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Windows calendar(Vista), Rainlendar, Lotus Notes, Tobit David and net shared calendars (WebDAV, FTP, local)
* SMS - archive, export, import, excessive messages,...
* Filebrowser with cachesystem to minimize datatransfer, automatic photosync...
* Set phoneclock based on atomtime
* and much more. f.e.: calllists, edit profiles, control phone, memorystatus, phonemonitor,...

Has anyone tried this yet? I'd be interested to know if this program is a viable alternative to the Googly cloud...

I use MyPhoneExplorer to sync up my DHD locally, but with Outlook 2000. It works very well for that. Like you I'm not a fan of the *Googly cloud* ....
It seems that a) there aren't a lot of solutions for a local sync for Android, understandably, and b) there are more solutions for Outlook than TB. Even with my old Nokia it would sync fine with Outlook but TB support only came in recently. Then they c*cked that up and it wouldn't support the latest TB. At that point I gave up on TB and went back to Outlook. It does make life much simpler - at least for me and the requirements I have of it!
I'd give it a go. Oh, MPE also has a forum. Go take a browse and see what people are asking. That may make up your mind, or not ....

I use(d) MyPhoneExplorer (MPE) for syncing contacts between my old SonyEricsson T610 and K850i. At my opinion, its a very good, extensive and reliable program with a good support. I contacted the autor of this program because of a problem with csv-contact im-/export and he was very endeavoured to solve it. This program is steadily improved, but i didn't use it for long time because it doesn't support my Windows Mobile phone (Xperia X1) (and no other Windows Mobile devices at all!). All the more i'm pleased that Android phones are now supported, because my next phone will get an Android phone (perhaps HTC Desire HD).
Because i haven't got an Android phone yet, i can't tell you how good MPE works with Android. But it would be my first place to go, if i'll get an Andoid phone because i'm using Mozilla Thunderbird too and no Google Mail!

FWIW, I use SyncMate by Eltima Systems (http://mac.eltima.com/sync-mac.html). The observant amongst you may have noticed the word 'Mac' in the URL, as this is a OSX program.
Currently, it synchronises using Google. However, version 3 is due shortly and that will allow for direct device sync.
I'm nothing to do with the developer - just a happy punter.
v
EDIT: I just noted the Thunderbird requirement. Not sure if v3 can handle that...sorry.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. How Ironic: Android devices are officially supported by HTC only on Microsoft OS...
I'll give MPE a try first thing I get my DHD, which, according HTC Germany, will be dispatched to local retail stores between November 10th and 18th

hi nubicurio
i tried it out and in the moment it works well, really well. so if i have in 2 weeks the same opinion, thats really great. i use thunderbird 3.1.6 german and the phone explorer 1.8.0. i also use the addins lightning, the lightning updater, the lightning button and the myphoneexplorer..
i will write in 2 or 3 weeks again... best greeeeez slash_1

This sounds good! ;-) But honestly i didn't expect any other conclusion.

I tried it today and so far it's the best tool I know for a direct sync.
I had some difficulty getting it to work but I finally successfully transferred Contacts and Calendar from my HTC Desire HD to Thunderbird 3.1.7 & Lightning 1.0b2 under Windows 7 Ultimate. Outlook Contacts were transferred better via Android than how Thunderbird imported them directly from Outlook!
I haven't tried Thunderbird to Android sync yet.
Thank a lot for the tip. Strongly Recommended!
