Cambridge, MA (February 26, 2004) - SYWARE, Inc., a leading developer of intuitive database tools for business and personal productivity, today announced that the company's award-winning rapid application development environment, Visual CE®, now allows creation of fast, flexible forms using data from Microsoft® SQL Server CE databases. Working in conjunction with sqlceEnable™, an add-on software tool from SYWARE, Visual CE can use data from any SQL Server CE database to create mobile forms for a variety of applications, from patient tracking to inventory management.
