How to View Access or Access data on Your phone

[Kody_Devl]

Hi All,

I have been ask to develop a simple database. I need to be able to view a small amount of information from the database (ie today's current Jobs <= 20 Records) from the database on the phone (and have a current view as today's job-list is updated).

The entire database doesn't necessarily need to be able to run on the phone (but would be nice).

Simple Solution: I suggested to my client, sending an email with the Job order list and he said that would be fine but he wants to be able to tap a phone number link that would automatically dial the customer's (be able to drive and make phone call's by tapping the customers phone numbers).
I don't know how you would do the Tap Phone number part on a phone from an email.

I would like to get some suggestions on how to approach getting information to the phone.

A record might look like this:

#1
Customer: John Smith
Phone: 612-222-2818
Addr1: 222 Opperman Lane

Addr2: Suite #2
City: St. Paul, Mn 55024
Installer: Josh
Time: 01/02/2019 @ 10:00 am

#2
Customer: Jill Smith


Phone:

612-222-2819

Addr1: 223 Opperman Lane
Addr2: Suite #3
City: St. Paul, Mn 55024
Installer: Nate
Time: 01/02/2019 @ 10:00 am

What would be the cleanest what to do this?

Many Thanks

Access databases can only be viewed if the device has a copy of Access installed (either a full version or runtime)
However, whilst Access will run on a Windows tablet, it will not run on a phone even if you have a Windows phone.
So you need another solution e.g. Export the data to a pdf and send to the person by email.

Your answer confirms my suspicion. It seems like outlook on a phone app my have the solution to my - tapping the phone number problem. I know how to get the above data into an email. Pretty Labrador!
Thanks

You're welcome.
If a Windows tablet is a possibility, it could certainly work though the data would still need to be transferred to the tablet whilst connected to the wired network
