Hi,
1. How do you key in an exponential function such as 2 x 3.45e-11 in SheetToGo? I tried like this: =2*3.45e-11, but it said "Formula contains unrecognized token". I tried the same formula on excel without any problem, even worked fine on the PocketExcel. I don't think this is not possible on the STG, since the program was not meant for elementary school kids only.

2. Can we have cell borders and colors with this SheetToGo? Btw, I'm using the Standard Edition that came with my NX70V. If it cannot, it's ashamed that Dataviz is claiming their DocsToGo is better than the PocketOffice itself.

Thanks.

1. I couldn't find an easy way to do it from my handheld. I created a test document on my pc to see how it would show up on the handheld and it displays as 6.9e-11. I then tried =2*3.45e-11 on my handheld but got the same error message you did. It looks like the only way to do it is: =2*0.0000000000345.

2. Sheets To Go won't do borders, only cell and text colors.

The biggest problem I have with STG is getting a handheld created spreadsheet to be created on my desktop pc. I keep getting HotSync error messages about the DTG desktop app can't find the file on my pc. Then I start to get multiple documents created on both my desktop pc and the handheld with variations of the name after each subsequent HotSync.

Thank kss for your reply. It seems that STG is not a program of my choice. Sometimes, I also did have problems like yours. And I had something like xxxx.pdb_1 files created on my Clie and PC, and I had to check which one was the latest and delete the other one.

Another problem is that everytime I synced with my PC, the column widths got messy, and I had to rearrange every coulmn back before I could use the file.

I think there are so many flaws with STG that Dataviz must not claim that theirs "does better than Microsoft's own PDA program" (Well, this is a claim by one of the reviewers, but it's on their website).

Anybody has any idea on the Premium version? Does it have all the above functions? And what about QuickOffice 7? Is it any better?

Thanks.
