"This unique report writing software tool ... brings full-featured printing capabilities to Pocket PCs, which normally cannot print on their own," said Syware president Sy Danberg.

Report CE's reports can include pictures, header and footer, data, and calculated values, Syware says. The package also includes more than 20 different numeric and alphanumeric bar code formats. Report CE works with Syware's Visual CE, as well as with Microsoft Pocket Access and SQL Server CE databases, according to the company.

"Mobile workers can now print professional reports that relate to their specific industry, or task, directly from a Pocket PC, without the need to go back to the office," Danberg added.
