date, days left = field - date). So I don't have to manually recreate

2. Whats the best way to get records from the ThinkDB database to the
Access database

The best way I found to get data from a tinybyte (the table on the PDA) to an Access table was via an "export" in the ThinkDB Desktop.I tried using sync but...
