Please recommend a Database for me...

Hello,
I have a Palm T/X - just received. I've been a long-time fan of Filemaker Pro for the PC, and I have numerous databases in that format.
Ideally, I'd love to be able to use those databases on my palm; but Filemaker Mobile is no longer available (and, apparently, wasn't all that great to begin with).
Since I don't necessarily *need* to sync the databases, I'd love to find a database into which I could import the data from FMPro, and then use that on my palm.
I did find pilot-db, which seemed to serve my purpose, and its corresponding windows product, db-editor. However, as you can read here:
http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&thread.id=38061
I was still unable to synchronize the data.
If anyone could recommend a database that would be great. The database should have a corresponding windows-based application (so I can do any heavy-duty editing on the PC) and should allow records to be imported. Also - something free (or low-cost) would be ideal, as well.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Chris

SmartList To Go won't let you sync with your original FileMaker Pro file, but if you can Import that data into SLTG, and maintain the data in SLTG (with either the desktop or handheld component, or both) going forward, there's no need to import and export anything. 
It sounds like you wish to keep using FileMaker Pro, in which case you will be stuck exporting and importing.
There are other database products out there as well.  I tried HanDBase a few years ago, but am so used to SLTG that I got flustered and chucked it.  A good place to look is www.handango.com or www.palmgear.com (PalmGear just re-launched, and is offering a site-wide 20% discount on all purchses...woo-hoo!).

    Please recommend portable printer for MacBook Air...preferably budget but will consider investment for very good value and support. Ease of use is key.

  • Please recommend a tool for stress-testing ?

    Could anyone please recommend a (free) tool to do multi-threaded stress-test, on plain java classes ?
    In more detail: I'd like to do unit-test for some plain java methods (only mathematical calculations. No web interface, no swing).
    The emphasis is stress test: i need to launch multiple threads, all of them repeately invoking my method. Under these conditions, I need to report correctness (has the method yielded the expected return value), and statistics on response time.
    Any recommendations would be appreciated . Thanks !

    SAX sounds good for building object trees from XML, but there are several XML mapping libraries out there (try google).

  • Please recommend GPS App for Tour

    Hello, I have Verizon Wireless and would like to purchase a GPS for my BlackBerry Tour.  I see that there are a lot of different options.  I simply want a GPS that works like a Garmin, where it displays the streets and has a voice that tells me when to turn. I do have GPS activated on the phone so I just need an App that works with it other than Google Maps.  I tried a couple of free GPS apps and they sucked so I know that I have to pay if I want a good app. Please recommend me such a GPS app.  Thank you.

    This is not much of a solution, but if you switch to Sprint, they give you a free GPS application that works just like your Magellan/Garmin/etc.
    I would quite literally be lost without my Sprint Maps

  • Please recommend a book for basic CSS learning

    I have "CSS The Missing Manual" and even though I'd say it's
    a great book. It does not tell you "how to."
    All the books I have read gives you templates, I want to
    "know how it was done." Seeing a template already made up does not
    show you how to build your own. Yea you can can look at the codes
    in the Dreamweaver templates but what happens if you want to build
    your own? Why was this DIV placed here? How do I create another
    Column?
    There are so much I'm not learning.
    I am looking for a book that will assume I know nothing about
    CSS and tells me, "to make an elastic layout, do this." "To make a
    liquid layout do this, write this, use these tags."
    Any recommendations? Please help.
    I would like to go to school for this, but can't afford it at
    the moment.

  • Please recommend digital format for importing video into iMovie.

    I have iMovie '09 and am considering a purchase of a new digital camcorder. I want to easily inport video into IMovie for editing and burning DVD's for use on our home player and for importing into Facebook, email, etc. Can you recommend the best digital format for me? Also, if you have any recommended camcorders I would appreciate that too. I'm looking for something portable with High Def and either a hard drive or flash drive memory component (or both-hybrid).

    I would suggest that you pick something from[this list|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290]

  • Please recommended best SSD for T410s

    I just bought a lightly used T410s with an HDD and the disk is really slow. It measures much slower than the than 2.5" 5400 RPM disk in my T61.  The general performance impression of this T410s is a step backwards from my older Thinkpads because of the slow load-times for all applications.
    So what is the best SSD to install in a T410s.   I looks like the 1.8" market is limited compared to 2.5". 
    (I recently installed a OCZ Agiity-3  240Gb (2.5" SSD) in a T500 that it is much faster than the Intel SSD that came factory installed in a friends T410s)  Does this mean that the best 1.8" drives are not equal to a SATA3 2.5" drive?
    OCZ and Kingston have 1.8" 128Gb SATA2 models that are similar in specs, and the Kingston is about half the price ?
    Any recommendations ?

    I'm not up to speed, but if you find an older Intel X-18m, it will work.  While not as fast at the latest drives, it is MUCH faster than that hard drive.Your other choice is placcing a drive in the DVD bay.  I have 2 drives (1 hard drive and 1 SSD) in my T400.  I use an external blu-ray drive when I need an optical drive.

  • Please recommend Linux Distro for 9ids installation

    Has anyone successfully installed 9ids (9.0.2) on a linux distro other than Redhat AS 2.1 and SuSe SLES7.
    If so what distro and version. Any additional packages needed? I have followed the installation instructions and have attempted its intall on several different distributions and have been unsuccessful.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    why dont you go for debian, it has a wonderfull package management system called dpkg, and also uses "apt" to get packages and it resolves dependencies if broken, go for it you wont be desapointed.

  • Please recommend OC settings for MSI K9A Platinum and AM2 6000+

    OS is Vista Ultimate x64.  BIOS revision is 1.7.

    Conclusion: Don't post in a dead thread! If you need help create your own one. Just to add: The easiest way to prevent guys from helping you is to offend 'em. Better keep that in mind when posting again.
    I have to agree. Never bite the ass of the helping hand...

  • Would somebody please recommend a good personal budget app for me?

    I have researched this quite a bit and even made up my own budget, but I'm looking for something that I can control myself, is easy to use and that is flexible enough for me to add as many different items or categories as needed. It would also be helpful if it has columns and keeps the columns neat and straight. What I'm using right now does not do that and can be problematic. Please recommend something simple for recording cash flow and expenses in a real easy manner.

    I need digital outs so I can plug in the signal from my pre-amp, use the A/D convertors on the Audio Interface to make it digital, then send it to my Mac using the best possible means. If I lacked the digital outs, there would be no point in having the thing, as I would only be using the A/D convertors in my Mac anyway!
    I was looking at the Hercules 16/24 FW Audio Interface. It seems to do everything I need (plus more), and I can get it for £200. - Does anyone have experience of this Interface? - Is it any good?
    Thanks for all the suggestions so far, - keep em coming please

  • Looking for new All in One. Is Officejet as good as Photosmart? Please recommend an All in One.

    I have the HP Photosmart C7180 All in One that's a few years old and is starting to give me a lot of errors (mostly ink level errors).  I'm thinking about replacing it, because I want one that doesn't use as much ink -- and one that has a bigger scanner bed (at least 11 x 14 or bigger).  I'm a budding artist and I want to have the ability to scan in my drawings.
    However, I do print a few photos now and then.  Does anyone know if Officejets will print decent pictures?
    Please recommend an All in One (the newer the better) for my needs. 

    Thanks! It sounds like a potential nightmare. Does
    anyone have a different experience? I'm not
    committed to an all-in-one, but it does save space.
    If you're willing to take time and effort into the process, HP's MFDs and Brother's MFDs work... mostly. HP has even improved their drivers. It took 'em long enough.
    No, I repeat, no MFD I've ever seen has been trouble-free, Mac or Windows. That includes Epson, Canon, HP, Brother, and (ugggh!) Lexmark devices. They all give problems. Not necessarily the same problems, but problems. HPs and Brothers give the least trouble with Epson a close third... but YMMV. I know people who swear by Canon, while in my personal experience Canon devices have been... not so good. But it was a limited sample, and maybe I had lemons.
    Most MFDs (that is, everyone but Brother) don't easily do networking unless it's a Specific Feature™. My HP PSC1350, for instance, does not believe that such a thing as a network exists, and is that way if connected to Macs or Windows machines. I can make it visible over the network, but it's a pain.
    If you want wireless network printing, get a wireless router (hint: Apple sells something called an AirPort Base Station) or access point which has a USB port and supports putting printers on the network. Note that you'll likely not be able to scan over the network.
    There are network MFDs; HP makes some. They're expensive. The OfficeJet 74xx is $500, and it's the cheap HP network MFD. I do NOT own one, so I have no idea how well they work, other than they're HPs... which means that the hardware will probably be excellent, and the software dreck.

  • Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories.  Quicken on a PC was good at this.  Mint seems very limited.

    Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories.  Quicken on a PC was good at this.  Mint seems very limited.

    Quicken for Mac 2007 works just fine (and is said to be compatible with Mavericks).  It is often denounced for not being "modern", but when something works, and does everything I want, I need a good reason to switch. 
    A few years ago (2011), I got that reason when I upgraded OSX and Quicken stopped working due to the absence of Rosetta.  I switched to iBank.  I used it for more than a year.  It was cumbersome, they have no sense of a helpful user interface, but it "works".  I found ONE feature that I liked:  you can attach an image (or any file) to a register entry, so I can save receipts right with the register.
    But when Intuit came out with the revised Quicken 2007 for Mountain Lion, I gladly went back.  I found that being able to update stock prices right in the portfolio view (for those not automatically found online) was handy - in iBank you have to generate a report to see the holdings, and then you have to switch to a view of "Securities" then scroll down through that list to find your stock, then "edit" then change the price, then "Save" then go back to reports and re-generate the portfolio view.  Also, if you enter a stock purchase in a Quicken register, the price you paid gets added to the price history for the stock (as of the date of the transaction).  No such help in iBank.  Most of the helpful UI features (like increasing the date with the + key) are glaringly missing in iBank.  I find I am getting no more than about 3-4 keystrokes before having to move the mouse and click.
    If you are considering sharing the app on an iPad, Quicken won't work, but I found that iBank for iPad doesn't work either.  The interface is completely different from the Mac version, you can't do much with it, and if you have a stock whose price is $11.25 / share and sell 200 shares, you might find that $22.50 gets added to your cash in the account.  (I actually made a few million dollars when it decided that 200 shares at $11.25  yielded $2,250,000.)  Luckly, I received a refund for that app.
    Depending on how the Mavericks switch goes, I hope to be able to stick with Quicken, but I am keeping my records up-to-date in both now, because I can live with iBank.  I will just have to keep an eye on its arithmetic.

Maybe you are looking for
