I work as a biologist and when I collect data out in the field I fill out a paper form, take it back to the office, and enter it into excel. For one or two data sheets that is ok, but many times I am doing 10 days of field work and have over 100 sheets to enter into excel. I was thinking to save time, and obviously money, it would more efficient to enter the data electronically in the field. I have a pocket pc with windows mobile and was thinking of creating an HTML form(s) to use on it. I know HTML forms and have heard you can have the data sent/saved as *.csv files that can easily be imported into excel. Most HTML forms are used on the internet and the data is sent via e-mail etc. I work in remote areas and have no internet access in the field.

My question is, is it possible to have the data entered into an HTML form(s) saved to the pocket pc memory?

I would like to fill in multiple forms and then transfer the data from my pocket pc to my laptop for analysis. Any additional help/advice you can give would be much appreciated.
 
If you can copy a file from your pocket pc to a desktop and the pocket pc has application like notepad than it is possible: make a notepad-like file on the pocket pc and separate fileds with a certain character.

copy the file to desktop and import it to excel

so check if the pocket pc has notepad-like application
