Access db on a tablet - Is it possible and which one is best?

[Chumpo]

Hi all,

I am new to the forum and have a host of questions I'm hoping you guys can help me with over time. But a little background first.

I used to be OK or fairly proficient with Access but haven't used it at all since 2005.
I am starting out on a new venture as a Chimney Sweep and wish to design a customer management database that would work specifically for my business model.
To that point, I'm going to (try to) design and build a suitable database that can be used in the office by my wife when taking bookings etc, but also can be used by myself when out and about updating information relating to the days jobs.
The mobile version would not have to be live - inquiries and bookings entered by my wife would not be required on the mobile version that day - however, the two versions would have to be sync-ed at the end of the day as both versions would have updates in them.

For a moment lets assume I get the db built as I want it to look on my desktop. It's running Windows 10 and has Access 2013 (I believe).

So, my question, are there better and worse tablets that would work in the manner outlined above?



Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

Any device that is running a full version of Windows has the ability to install and run Office Apps including Access.

Syncing two databases (mobile and desktop) is not a trivial task. It will require very advanced VBA skills and lots of time testing and debugging.

I urge you to take a serious look at Zoho (https://www.zoho.com/ ) There is a CRM ( https://www.zoho.com/crm/ ), Calendar ( https://www.zoho.com/calendar/ ), accounting ( https://www.zoho.com/books/ ) and everything else you will need.
