Mike's Review of Handbase from ddhsoftware
Ace Product! The only Palm Software I have bought to date.
The next working day after downloading it, I was showing my colleagues 1300 products from our company price list complete with search and sort facilities, easily imported via a spreadsheet. Excellent!
Whatever else you use it for, (library books, wines, miles per gallon & video tapes are just a few) Handbase must be amongst the best products for entering financial transactions, with copy from an existing record, dates that can default to today, and picking frequently used values from popup lists. The calculations fall far short of a spreadsheet, but are entirely adequate for this purpose.
Handbase has several advantages over spreadsheet on Palm. These include sort and filter, viewing one record per palm shaped screen, and that open close and save happen instantly. No contest.
The calculations are quite good enough, and suit scrabble scores very well indeed.
