I use XL on my iPaq. It seems to work fine, but I don't use it for anything complicated. Most of your functions are there, but there is no VBA. I can't remember what the other limitations are, but here is an old link that lists some of them.

have a look at Quicktime.....great product for the price although using a pocket PC obviously has its limitations.....using an USB link you can upload/download...
one last tip....sign on to ebay and you can pick up this product for next to nothing...

Reviving this thread to ask a question: My boss has me shopping and comparing hand-helds that would be issued to our field techs. For various reasons, she has said she wants a Windows-based system and strongly prefers Dell.
One of the most important things she wants the techs to be able to do is enter data on an Excel spreadsheet, and be able to use an expansion card so the sheets they work on in the field can be opened on/copied to their desktop PCs and used there (and then back and forth as editing and updating continue between the office and the field).
I found the Dell Axim x50 (and x30), which comes with pocket Windows (or whatever the OS is called these days), as well as pocket versions of Word, Outlook, and Excel, plus an SD slot. This sounded great, until I started hearing rumblings that pocket Excel and desktop Excel don't always play nicely with one another, which sounds like trouble for her plan of on-the-fly office/field data transfer.
Can anyone here speak to this issue, either from experience or reliable anecdotal evidence?
