not think that newer versions of filePro will work--but, honestly, 
version 4.1 is all that I need to have when I'm on the road. If 
necessary, I can use Windows Terminal Services client to connect to a 
Windows Terminal Server and use version 5.x or whatever.

Thanks to all that replied (Mike, Ron, Bob, et al)
   
  I don't know if I even have a copy of 4.1 anymore. However, if not, I am sure I could get one from fptech.  I am beginning to think the easiest way to get what I want may be to see if I could get MS-Access ( if they have a Mobile 5.0 version) and dump the data in to tthere. I doubt if any of the SQL programs (MySQL or SQL Server) would fit.
   
  Does the Pocket PC act as a DOS emulater?  Unfortunatley, The Treo 750 does not have 802.11 so Windows Remote Desktop will not work.
   
  Ron can you point me to the correct archive or send me the detailed instructions on loading the Pocket PC and using fp?
   
  Thank you,
