I have created some database access files using microsoft office 2007, so I am wondering how I can view them on my n900, if anyone knows? I tried documents to view, but that kept asking me to purchase before I even got a chance to try it-so if there are any similar database viewers out there, that would be a great help. editing is not necessary. thanks

good point! anything unofficial would no doubt be frowned upon by microsoft anyway. i heard "documents to go" may be able to read some database formats, but its paid for only. I think the easiest way around may be to just convert a database to a simpler format that the phone can read... thanks.

If you can place them on a machine that is always on then you can remote connect to an access database through ODBC I think?

"Documents To Go" has a trial period of 30 days.
Install it and see how you get on.
(I didn't see any mention of db formats though)
