thank you both Arjen Markus & John Oliva
I'll try VB - appforge as I know vb reasonably well. Tcl/tk and others will have to wait

You might want to look at using AppForge (www.appforge.com) which takes a
slightly restricted version of VB6, VB.NET and C# and can produce output for
many handheld devices (including PPC).  Also, you can program in .NET for
the desktop and .NET compact framework for the Pocket PC.

I hope to use the same (type) language for desktop and ppc programmation. The most likely candidate seems evc++ & vc++. (I still have to learn it) even more so because the intended tool calls for lowlevel access to the serial port on the pocketpc (Dallas Ibutton interfacing).

I'm however concerned about the database connectivity. On a previous attempt, I bought Sybase PocketBuilder on sybase's reputation of being proficient at different db formats. Only to find out dbase, foxpro support and such was scrapped from pocketbuilder.
