What device is the right one?
I'll be brief. I need a Palm PC for field use to check items against my database -- stolen aviation parts.

I go to an airshow and check the flea markets for stolen equipment. I've been using a laptop. I want to convert to a Windows CE model. I already own a Casio E-10. I need a keyboard.

What models should I consider? I need to convert a dBase III file (dbf) to a Windows CE application. Where I can use a "find" command to look for matching serial numbers?

There are about 7000 records in the file with six fields -- date of theft, claim, insurance, make, model, and serial number indexed on the serial number.

Since you've got a DBF file to convert, you'll probably want one of the devices with Pocket Access. Beyond that, read Windows CE Power for reviews of each unit. I'd recommend you read our Windows CE versions article from May 1999 (available at http://www.windowscepower.com/issues/issue199905/specifics001.html) for a better idea of what kind of machine does what.
