Do you use XML? How? Would you be interested in XML features integrated into Visual CE or Report CE? In the past, people have asked us, "Do you do XML?" and (so far) we have been saying "Not yet".

So let us know: how would you like to use XML with Visual CE or Report CE. Send us your ideas, suggestions, and/or sample XML files.

Visual CE allows you to synchronize the same desktop/server table to multiple handhelds. The easiest way to enable this is to just say YES when you are asked if you want to keep the table synchronized with more than one handheld when you first download a table (FILE | DOWNLOAD TABLE). But what if you change your mind after the fact or you create the table using Visual CE's FILE | CREATE TABLE? Is it still possible to set this up? Yes, and here's how!
