iPhone programs to use for the logistics DB

[Stoneskull_Rockfist]

Just curious - anyone know of a program that can be used to modify the Alliance Logistics database on the iPhone? I'd love to be able to keep the database on my phone, to take to site, or other chapters...

What kind of a database is it?

Access 2003 is the ideal program for it... its a *.mdb

Hmm, at risk of sounding technocrat-ish, I'd say that's the whole reason why there isn't such a program yet.

Can anyone say, Extreme platform clash? :ugeek:

Meh. In general, if people want it, it'll be made. Consider that OpenOffice reads .doc files.

Remember YMMV there, particularly if you note that OpenOffice still isn't entirely compatible with MS Office stuff yet. And you can bet Micro$oft will work very hard to break anything that they can't make a profit off of themselves. (Doesn't anyone remember how they intentionally broke DOS 7 and such anymore? *sigh*) Anyways, I'm just saying that it really would be much simpler if the Alliance DB were moved to a open source database product instead rather than the other way around...

Can't argue with that.
