Need recommendation for database app

[JayWigley]

I need to identify an app that will allow me to store several charts in an easy-to-access form. I would like to choose a chart, row, and column from a pull down menu and have the app deliver the right cell contents. You can create such a custom interface in Access on a PC--is there something like that for the TX?

MobileDB with the Access plugin will allow you to create the DB in Access then sync it to the palm, otherwise the best one out there is Handbase.

I tried a lot of them but in the end I still find myself using PilotDB, which is free and pretty well featured but is unstable as heck.

I lovePilotDB but in the end I had o take it off my TX. I still have my DBs stored in case it ever gets updated ;)

If you use PlugIns you can get a bit better stability by not selecting 'Load Plugins Automatically' (or whatever it's called)

Unfortunately I can't recommend PilotDB on the TX, just too many crashes :(

All the best, woz of oz

I have been a long time user of SmartList2Go (formally ThinkDB). Always been my favorite.

Check out HanDBase particulary if you need an app that will synch with Access.

Can you create relational databases with Smartlist? I know that HanDBase allows for this. :confused:
