I want to both display some text from something like word, and then capture
both a "keyboard" entry for name, address etc and also a signature

I have been able to create an utomated form on Word on my PC, but it does
not work when transferred to my Ipaq.

This is a one off software so not looking for a major high grade data
capture but something that can allow me to enter the text I want to display,
then gather the relevant data.

Any suggestions greatfully received.

PC is XP based, Ipaq is a 4150 with WM6 software

Thanks

So, you want a form creator app?

BTW, the 4150 is a WM2003-based, pretty aged device. There aren't even
cooked WM6 ROM's for it. Are you sure it's the 4150 OR it's WM6?

It's definitely a 4150 so I must be wrong about the 2006

But yes I guess I want a form creator and capture package

In addition, if it's "connected" via cell or wifi, remember that a form
on an active web page can be used for text, but not the signature.

HanDBase which is a PocketPC/Palm database has a form creation package
that has a desktop development environment.

Many thanks for the suggestion Data gatherer is downloaded and installed and
am testing as I go at present, but it looks good
