If you dig around the DOSBox Turbo settings a bit, you'll find an option
that lets you adjust the screen scaling for landscape mode. That will
probably fix your cropping issue.
Not sure about what you're seeing from Hacker's Keyboard. There should
be an Fn key that gives you the F1-F12 keys, plus some of the other
special keys. Normally the cursor keys are always present, but I've only
ever used it on 7-8" tablets, so maybe it automatically adapts to
smaller devices. There may be some settings you can adjust to customize
the keyboard's appearance/behavior.

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
