I use the Windows version of DOSBox when I want to run DP (among other
things) on a 64-bit machine, and that works fine. I don't run DP on
Android on a regular basis, but I have done it as a proof-of-concept,
and there didn't seem to be any problems. Installing Hacker's Keyboard
will give you the F1-F10 keys that you need. You could probably even
connect a bluetooth or USB keyboard for longer sessions.

Thank you Dave that looks a promising idea, have you used it for
DataPerfect?.

Hi Michael,
You could always install DOSBox Turbo and Hacker's Keyboard and run
DP directly on Android. :)

Thanks Bruce,
I'm not sure I would know how to do this but must first think
carefully about which data I need to access and how - directly, via
links or both.
I would only need to browse the data and not update anything on the
phone but would like to do look-ups, or something similar, from more
than one field.
Best wishes,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Good to hear from you again. This is what I would do, assuming by
"access" you mean read-only on the Android, with infrequent updates.
Write a report in the database to produce an HTML presentation,
which would likely consist of many web pages, one per venue
perhaps, and also a "home" page with links to the various venue pages.
From your phone, using the in-built browser, visit the home page
and from click on link/button of the venue you need to see. If you
have staff at a database computer, you can have them run the report
whenever important changes are made to the database panels.
If this overall scenario works in your case, I can help you flesh
out the process (as there is a missing link or two).
Best wishes,
Bruce

I have a DP database consisting of three panels: Venue/date,
Titles & Sales.
Sales is linked to Venue/Date by venue & date and to Titles by
a reference number.
I sometimes need to access this information on my somewhat aged
smartphone while out & about at craft fairs but know nothing of
Android databases.
Failing an Android version of DataPerfect, can anyone suggest a
suitable database please.
Thanks,
Michael
