OPTION 2. PenBase PalmServer by Eric Vergnaud distributed by e-Node

A gateway between Palm pocket computers and 4D Server, PalmServer provides 4D
developers with a solution that enables enterprise users to synchronize
their data with a 4D Server database instead of the PalmDesktop application.

PalmServer can synchronize information from the four Palm native
applications : AddressBook, DateBook, Memos and ToDoList.

OPTION 3. 4JFile Component from PalmConversions

4JFile version 1.1 now adds increased synchronization capabilities. When
reading in JFile databases, the developer can now quickly tell if a record
has been modified or deleted. These new features make it easier than ever
to build custom PalmOS synchronization abilities into their existing
databases.

If you haven't used the 4Jfile Component before, realize the power of
handheld data entry by downloading the demo today from the PalmConversions
web site.
