A PDA can't do anything with Access forms or an Access application. There
are various ways to use *data* from an MDB on a PDA, but you will need to
either buy or develop the PDA application to make use of that data. What
sort of PDAs are we talking about (Pocket PC, Palm, other?) and will they be
permanently connected to the wireless network, or will they sometimes be
disconnected and need to locally cache data?

Do a search for DataViz. They have some tools to help, but I fear they
will not do everything you want.
