"simple" is an interesting word. palmos has no internal "database" management; other than simple record entries (ie: datebook et al). if you are looking for a stronger database engine (sql et al) - its another project in itself. you'll find your biggest hurdle will be the presentation of the data and how you gather it from your users. the storage and synchronization are quite small compared to these. tcp/ip from the device, or the development of a synchronization conduit. a complete suite of options available to you - just a matter of how much you are willing to spend :) [/Quote] I'm hoping it will be a simple application, it's effectively a timer which will only require one way syncing of data, it doesn't require any two way sync logic. The basic outline is that resources are logged on to the unit, so a list of current resources is generated, and then those resources are logged against activity IDs. So the actual data could be contained in a single CSV file. I'm hoping that this'll make it quite compatible with Palm OS but I'd certainly welcome any feedback on it.
