Pocket Access & Power Point

Can anyone point me where I can get these programs on my axim? I have the 400 mhz processor, and I can't seem to find any info on these two programs.

Its my understanding, that there isn't a Pocket Access or Pocket PowerPoint available for these PDA's. I don't think Microsoft made PocketPC versions of thes programs, and only stuck with the most common ones, i.e. PocketWord, PocketExcel, and PocketOutlook. I think the only thing in relation to these programs is the Pocket Viewer that will let you view PowerPoint Slideshows, but not actually work on them.

As for Power Point, here is a good website that explains several programs that run Power Point files (one even lets you show videos and animation). It also lists several CF to VGA adaptors. I have yet to try any of these programs (I just ordered my Axim this past week), but I plan on using them.

Pocket PCs don't ship with Pocket Access or Powerpoint. However, there are several third party applications available on the market which fills the voids left by Microsoft. You can find the applications at most Pocket PC download sites.

Ust an FYI. For those who are looking to edit PowerPoint presentations on your Axim, it can be done. On the CD that came with the axim, there is a program on there called IA presenter. It installs on both your desktop and your Axim, allowing you to change PowerPoint files over so that your Axim can read them, and you can edit and view them on your Axim, however, the editing seems to be somewhat limited.

The best program I found to run access databases on the pocket pc is (Data on the run). You can find it at handango.com. The program is about $13, but well worth it. You can sync your access database with your Pocket pc.
