I have it working . . . .sort of.

If I have any keyboard displayed in the phone's landscape mode, I can only see the upper part of the DP screen and although I can select the Hacker's Keyboard and see while on black keys, I can't see function keys or arrows.

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
