Good Access Database Sync Program

I have searched the net for a few months now trying to find a good program
that will sync a few Access databases I use (timecards, client server and
setup info, etc.) instead of having to convert them to another database form
and syncing that way (don't like losing my forms and report formats). Using
a Dell AximX30 with PocketPC 2003. I would like to keep the data base
intact and just let it sync the file directly instead of a conduit program
as I come in from the road and can keep up with my time.

Thanks!

Hi Karl,

I am not aware of any database application that will read a mdb file without
converting it into .cdb.

You have the option of not allowing ActiveSync to convert the .mdb file into
..cdb. This will retain all the forms and reports. However, you will not be
able to use the database on your PPC. Your PPC will simply act as a storage
medium without the conversion.

To configure the conversion settings ---

1. Open Activesync on the desktop and click Tools -> Options.
2. Click the Rules tab and click the Conversion settings.

The conversion rules of different types of files can be modified for either
when the file is synchronizing from the Desktop to the Device or from the
Device to the Desktop.
