Tutorial: An UltraLite for MobileVB Application for Palm OS

Introduction

This tutorial walks you through building an UltraLite for MobileVB application. At the end of the tutorial you will have an application and small database on the Palm emulator that synchronizes with a larger database running on your desktop machine. If you have a device set up to use TCP/IP, you can also run the application on the device.

Timing

The tutorial takes about 30 minutes if you copy and paste the code. If you enter the code yourself, it takes significantly longer.
