Palmtop for Excel / Excel for Palmtop
Anyone who's helped me in the last couple of days knows i'm creating an invoicing system. As the last nail in the coffin for this thing, i'm thinking of applying my Desktop excel version to a Palmtop. So perhaps you Excel aficionados can help. Here are a few questions that i think everyone can benefit from: 1. I know some PDAs support Excel, but do they all support VB as well? If not which offer full Excel functionality? 2. Which good PDA has a larger screen size than 3.5"? 3. Recommended makes? I know it's not really programming related but i know the people who use this forum woulf have come across this issue. I also have some other criteria but the first question is most important. After creating some of these damn macros i'll be damned if we spent money just to find out their not supported. As always, thanks for the great support from this forum. -- chris100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chris100's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25166 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=388520 |

Palmtop for Excel / Excel for Palmtop
Chris,
Some PDA's run a scaled down version of Windows called Pocket PC, which can run a scaled down version of Excel called Pocket Excel. Pocket Excel supports worksheet based formulas and formatting, but does not support VBA. So to run your macros, you'll need a full blown version of Excel which can only run on a full blown version of Windows. I haven't looked into it for a while but I think there are some palmtop computers that would fit the bill. (Note : Palmtop < PDA). Tablet PCs also spring to mind. Only other option would be to rewrite your app in a language that targets the Pocket PC environment. Check out the following website to find out how. http://www.devbuzz.com/ Regards, Vic Eldridge "chris100" wrote: Anyone who's helped me in the last couple of days knows i'm creating an invoicing system.

(vba, custom functions, charts, etc) Planmaker is supposed to be one of the best replacements/alternatives, however it doesnt list VBA on the website; http://www.softmaker.de/pmp_en.htm |
