I have an existing Microsoft Access database. Can I synchronize it with my handheld using Pendragon Forms?

You can synchronize individual tables in Microsoft Access to forms on your handheld. Pendragon Forms has an Import feature that will build a Pendragon Form from your table design. Then you can use the Field Mapping Tool to map your Pendragon Form to your existing Access table. After mapping, Pendragon Forms will synchronize directly with your existing database. If your database is relational (i.e., your database has several related tables), it may still be possible to synchronize your database by using subforms, but this requires more advanced knowledge of Pendragon Forms and Microsoft Access. In essence, you can connect each table to a separate form, and use lookups and subforms to achieve a framework for data entry and retrieval.
