VB & Windows CE Assuming your WinCE device has the storage and RAM required for the hefty VB
runtime files, then sure it can. Of course, you do have to compile your VB app
for the WinCE device. See [
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/cetools/ppcsdk_color.asp ] and maybe [
http://www.microsoft.com/catalog/display.asp?site=763&subid=22&pg=1 ]. Just
search around.

The second one is an add-on for VB 6 (Pro or Enterprise), which runs close
to $200, and would probably work just fine. The other looks like an add-on
for the other way, which is Microsoft eMbedded Visual Tools 3.0, which is
freely downloadable at http://www.*-*-*.com/
(provided you can handle a 304MB download), and claims to be a stand alone
IDE for exactly what I want - except it won't run the emulator on 98 (but
then, neither will the other one).
Thanks.

the bi-annual buying shows, with their complete inventory and sales history
on a Palm. Sigh. Sure, they can do that, with one store and 20,000 SKUs. But
we've got 10 stores with 40,000+ SKUs each, and the same information for all
of 'em comes out to 72 meg with the search index, and Palms just don't come
with that much RAM. So it's time to get a pocket PC of some sort, and do it
right with a real database and a custom front end. Then he'll be King Of The
Hill on the "geek up with the joneses" contest. At least I'll get to learn
something new.)

Compression? I heard Project Gutenberg had an interesting algorithm that
worked quite well on plain text. You might also want to check out CASL
http://www.*-*-*.com/ , Wince, and, at least
for debugging purposes, Lose32, all at once.

Actually, Access will do just fine, once I have a machine that can run the
drivers for it. Which CE will. I'm not interested in learning a new language
for a once in a lifetime project.

What are you babbling about? You're going to have to learn a new language
anyway, now that Microsoft has decreed that Access and Visual Basic are
*not* where we want to go today, even if that new language says "Visual
Basic 7.0" on the box. XP2 ain't done 'till VB6 won't run!
