I have the compaq ipaq pocket pc. It rocks.
Excel is on it. Works fine. However only problem I had was with forumlas. When I transferred a file from my pocket PC to my desktop, all formulars on the worksheet were missing. Maybe it was something I did, but I haven't got around to playing with it.

POCKET EXCEL WMobile 2002
Have just acquired an IPAQ 3870. Quite a machine! HOWEVER - I have searched high and low to find a list/guide to the Excel functions that WILL work on the pocket versions.
Anyone found one please?

The only formulas I trust on my pocket pc are + - * /
Having used it for the last couple of years I found it to be hugely unreliable with even slightly more basic ones.
GPS works fantastically on my new iPaq I used to have an older model with a sleeve but it was sometimes flaky and quickly returned to the shop. New on however connects when in car and is truly fantastic.

ASFKAP - not quite! (well, it IS WINDOWS!!!)
Synchronising is simple, and files in the transfer bucket whistle over, including spreadsheets, but File conversion takes place (to a 'pxl' format. On 'PExcel' a number of main Excel fns do not work. I have tracked down a few, but there is a dearth of 'help' info anywhere. MS do not seem to offer any.
I had a few minutes today on a longish sector to get a bit of it working, but the trouble I'm having is converting/re-writing the various processes (it is a load sheet prog) to run on PE. A PE 'simulator' for the desktop would be very useful!

TCS - I use a windows terminal services to connect to Citrix/Win2k terminal server.
I would like to say it is good but theres a hell of a lot of scrolling involved but for looking after the servers remotely it is rather handy.

I've got some pretty hefty Excel sheets on my iPaq, transferred over from the PC, and they all work fine. Even the several-megabyte Churchyard file (who's buried where, when, etc).
The "basic" Excel functions work in Pxl, but not much else. My Pilot's log from the PC went without a hitch; my Lat/Long to NGR converter laughed at me.
I wasn't impressed with the GPS sleeve - but others seem to like it.
There is a serious bug in the MS diary software in the iPaq, that caught me out. If you scroll back and forwards looking for a free day for something, it will after a couple of "passes" not display multi-day events (like being on holiday). So you book up something else...
I dumped the "provided" diary, and use Pocket Informant, which is brilliant.

Well, a steep learning curve, but still reckon this machine is 'the dog's doodahs'! All sorted now, progs running on the PDA. A bit of tweaking, mainly to change the 'Lookup' refs to 'V' and 'HLookup'

Another IPAQ question for the experts!
Following an 'uninstall', I am left with a shortcut in 'Programs' which has no link. Where are these held in Pocket Win2002 and can (should!!) I get at the registry to play?

Hello again, Keef. Thanks - I tried that and it was NOT showing anywhere!
I found the answer which is to connect via 'activesync' and then explore the IPAQ and the shortcut was there (and now deleted!). You can also ADD shortcuts via 'AS'. I assume there is some setting on the IPAQ I have not made to enable me to 'see' all the files.

After years of Psion (GREAT MACHINES), and Palm, I finally got around to getting an 'HP' iPaq (4150)
As a confirmed anti Windows bigot it hurts to say it, but , boy does it eat the other machines for breakfast.
