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 correspond-
ing tables or you can fill out electronic forms. Eventually, you should

or your corporate network. You can also use Pocket Access to create new
databases, tables, and SQL procedures directly on your device.
