Want to use iPad to enter data directly into database

The non-profit I work for collects a significant amount of field data while conducting energy audits of buildings around the city. We're looking into options that would simplify and speed up the process of data entry, and we're (clearly) thinking about switching to an iPad.
Are there apps that would allow us to enter data destined for an Access database directly into an iPad without 3G when we don't have wireless access in buildings? Would we need 3G for this to work? The end goal of using any device would just be to get all the data into the right place, not analyze it - are there any other devices you would suggest that might do that more effectively (cheaply?) than an iPad?

Thanks KeithJenner for using and mentioning "Database Viewer Plus".
Frothi, As "KeithJenner" has already used our "Database Viewer Plus" which directly synchronizes with MS Access. "Database Viewer Plus" will allow you to collect field data while conducting energy audits of buildings around the city and update it wirelessly in your Access database directly.
Even if iPad is without 3G when you don't have wireless access in buildings, you can work with your data on iPad and later changes can be submit to your Access database when 3G is available.
Advantage of "Database Viewer Plus" is that you have to just select your MS Access database tables and sync from iPad. "Database Viewer Plus" has additional feature of Forms. Design Forms for your Energy audits and let the user use those forms on iPad.
Also Enterprise version provides controlled data access (Role base Access Control) for field employees via iPhones , iPads , Blackberries, Android phones, Symbian.
Try the Lite version from the following link.

  • Have a problem in Numbers with entering data directly into a cell when a table reaches a certain size and special characters are used?

    I am creating a list of words with special characters in some of them. I get to a point where I cannot enter data directly into the cell. I have to use the data entry bar at the top in the toolbar. Any solutions available?
    This is the table I am creating...
    From row 25 on, I am only able to enter data into the cell through the toolbar at the top and not directly into the cell itself. I believe that this problem originates from the special characters I have inserted in the previous records because if I do not use special characters, then the spreadsheet acts flawlessly. Have there been issues in Numbers with data entry, the size of a table, and using special characters?

    I would try removing the rows with "special" characters one at a time to see which one is causing the problem

  • Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Win32 function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.

    Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory from a VI? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Call Library function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.
    The data is being received at 1Mbps.
    Thanks

    Two questions:
    One, if it's a serial card, then presumably it gives you more serial ports, like COM3, COM4, etc. If so, VISA would see the COM ports, and not the card directly. The drivers for the card should make it so that you see the extra serial ports from the OS. If you don't see the extra COM ports from VISA, then it sounds like the drivers for the card are not installed properly. Do the extra COM ports show up in Device Manager?
    Two, you said that you're using a Call Library function to get the data and you want to put it into system memory. Errr.... you just read the data and you have it in memory by definition. Are you saying you need a way to parse the data so it shows up on a graph or something?

  • When / why use XML to store data instead of database table ?

    Hi All,
    I still not use XML much in applications and don't know much about its utilization.
    I read here and there about storing data as XML instead of into database tables.
    - could any body please tell me when / why use XML to store data instead of database table ?
    e.g : store inventory per warehouse in XML format. ?
    - What is the other cases or reasons of extracting database records into XML or vice versa ?
    - is there any good pdf on this ?
    Thank you for your help,
    xtanto

    It depends entirely what you want to accomplish with the 'XML in the database'. There are basically 3 independent methods: As CLOB, as XMLType views or as native XMLType 'columns'
    Each method has advantages and disadvantages, especially in the performance vs purpose tradeoff.
    The Oracled Press book "Oracle Database 10g XML & SQL Design, Build, & Manage XML Applications in Java, C, C++, & PL/SQL" is highly recommended for anyone interested in Oracle and XML. http://books.mcgraw-hill.com/getbook.php?isbn=0072229527&template=oraclepress

  • How to paste tabbed data directly into FM7 table cells?

    <<<<on edit.... changed FM8 to FM7... I have FM7, not FM8>>>
    Hello
    I'm working on a documentation job that requires a pasting external data into existing table cells in FM7.
    I have tried several things but I can't find a way to paste the data directly into the table cells.  The source data can be delimited text, or spreadsheet cells. Neither can be pasted into an existing table.   The only way I can make this work is to first paste it into FM as text, then convert it to another table, and then copy/paste from that table into the existing one.  This is a lot of extra work and it seems there should be a way to paste external data directly across table cells.   I also tried "paste special" but that is not an option when I have table cells selected.
    Any ideas???
    It would be much appreciated!
    Thanks
    Gary Beckwith

    Gary, just had a thought -- I've worked on several projects where I used variables in tables that might work better for you.
    Basically the idea is to pre-populate the tables in your chapter with variables in the cells, and then import a minimalist MIF file that only contains the variable definitions for the pre-existing variables.  The minimalist MIF file can be made quite easily from a database or from an Excel CSV or TSV export by using various scripting utilities to convert comma-delimited text into the MIF syntax.
    I've created chapters that had hundreds of thousands of cells with variables in them, and updating the variables is incredibly quick.
    The best way to approach the variable naming is to come up with a convention that is easy to apply, I found .r1c1 etc to be a good starting point (the period so that the variables all sort in the same place in FM, the lower-case letters to make the variable's name as horizontally short as possible.

  • I want to use Bento 2 as a personal knowledge database, can your recommend

    I want to use Bento 2 as a personal knowledge database, can your recommend any templets that would be useful for this to get me going?
    Thanks
    Martin Brossman

    What I mean by a personal knowledge base is a database for new things I learn that I think I will use in the future and may forget. For example: Technical tips about my new Mac, Websites that solve certain solutions, approaches for dealing with specific business situations, stats and numbers on things that do not change fast but. I have a learning challenge where learning proper nouns is difficult so I will remember the concept or idea but not the details that I need. I use to have a old DOS program that did this in filemaker.
    Thanks for asking and does that give you more clarity on what I want?

  • Can I use iPad to enter excel inventory figures?

    Can I use my iPad to record excel inventory figures? I have excel on my Macbook Air and have Mavericks on it. But I use the iPad when I run around taking inventory. The computer is just too large and cumbersome to carry while walking around. I Want to add numbers to my excel docs whilst right on my ipad as I go through inventory.
    Is there a way to get my excel doc into my iPad and open it to add numbers?
    And, because Mavericks is now the system that allows iPad (ios) devices to talk to Mavericks on macs, isn't this supposed to now be doable?
    And, woe is me if not yet at this time. If so, is there an Application some smart person created that will allow me to transfer from mac to ipad and back to mac and excel numbers I input?
    Muchos gracias!

    Assuming that the spreadsheet doesn't use macros or really exotic functions, all you should need is an app that can open and edit Excel document, of which there are a number of apps. Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Numbers being the spreadsheet) that are available free if you purchase a new iOS device and that can be purchased separately for older devices. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go,  Quickoffice and Office2 HD. All provide ways to transfer documents between the iOS device and a computer, often multiple ways including through iTunes, iCloud, and/or services such as Dropbox.
    If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.

    The approaches open to me are:
    1. Write a custom doclet. Instead of writing to a file, enter into database using java.sql
    2. Parse the index-files generated by standard javadoc tool.
    3. Use reflection API - Short Description not available in that case.
    The questions that I have are:
    1. Is there any open source doclet that I can modify to get my job done?
    2. Is there an XML file of the Java API that I can download and parse?
    3. Which of the approaches I described above is the best?
    I will be really grateful if someone could help me out with code that already exists.
    Sushovan,

    Hello,
    As far as I understand, the basic thing you need is to have a doclet which takes certain data from Doclet API and export them into a certain basically plain-text file (that is XML or SQL file).
    We provide a solution exactly for that sort of tasks -- a template-driven customizable doclet, which outputs into HTML, RTF and plain TXT formats.
    Please, look at this page to find out more:
    http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_javadoc/
    This tool is not for free (although, the price is laughable in comparison with the provided functionality). Also, there maybe a free solution about it. Just read "XML Generation" section on that page. If you have any specific questions, we are glad to hear from you.
