Share Data Between Quicksheet and HanDBase
Cutting Edge Software and DDH Software have teamed to launch Quickdata, a free utility that lets users share data between Quicksheet spreadsheets and HanDBase relational databases.
"Just as Microsoft's Access and Excel have provided workers with flexibility when they work with their data on the desktop, the teaming of HanDBase and Quicksheet empowers mobile professionals with more choices in how they work with data on their handheld computers," said Michael Compeau, Cutting Edge Software's vice president of business development and planning.
Quickdata lets users have a host of new capabilities for viewing and entering data or exchanging data with other users and their own desktop. For example, HanDBase's many "form" entry methods, such as check boxes and pop-up fields, simplify the process of entering data on the small screen of a handheld computer. If this data needs to be analyzed in a tabular format, or if it needs to be plotted on a chart or graph, the data can be transferred while on the device to Quicksheet and displayed in a spreadsheet or charted with Cutting Edge's Quickchart. All of Quicksheet's tools, including more than 60 formulas and functions, can be applied to the data while still preserving the native HanDBase database.
Because data can move both directions, the data stored in Quicksheet can also be exported to HanDBase to automatically complete forms or to be beamed to other HanDBase users. Since HanDBase is the first cross-platform database in the handheld computing industry, the data can be beamed to other HanDBase users with either Palm powered or PocketPC powered devices. This eliminates a major barrier that previously prevented many mobile professionals from collaborating and exchanging data.
"Our mission is to enable mobile professionals to become more productive on-the-go and Quickdata enables users of the top Palm OS devices to tap into the power of our complete suite allowing them to accomplish more work anytime and anywhere, " said Mr. Compeau.

Now I'm convinced.
Given the synergy between Quick Office and Handera, I'm sure the next release of HanDBase will support 240x320 as well as landscape mode.
Now I just need an Infrared passthru parallel printer cable. Anybody seen this for sale on the web?

RE: This is really good news
I've tried out Quickdata. Pretty cool. This should be great for using in my business. Enter in sales records in HanDBase, then send them on over to Quicksheet and chart them, sort them, etc. Gotta like that.
Great concept, but doesn't work for me???
Now please don't flame me, because this collusion is the cats meow but will somebody explain why?
I tried to convert from handbase to quicksheet. I saved the new DB to a new workbook and pressed OK.
I go to quicksheet and nothing is there?????
Please explain
Thanks
RE: Great concept, but doesn't work for me???

UPDATED IT WORKS NOW!!!
If you were having problems, get updated zip file and it take care of it.
This is a great tool!
Load the qsimport file instead of quickdata
I posted the earliest regarding my difficulties (ha) of converting from handbase to quicksheet.
I downloaded the new zip version and it still didn't work until I tried loading the qsimport file instead.
Now it works fine. Can't say why the quick data file doesn't seem to work on some users' machines????
Excellent software, now a person really doesn't need to go through the handbase desktop once the program and all the relational databases are logically connected. Straight up to excel, yippee

This is really good news
Couldn't wait to try the power of Quickdata !
This synergy is going to create a strong competitive advantage over DocToGo suite. Let's see if this will initiate a war for excellence.
Ultimately, we the users, are going to benefit.
