Field2Base Inc., announced today the general availability of Version 4.0 of its Forms2Base software offering. Forms2Base Pro along with its free, restricted use sister product, Forms2Base Lite, offer clients a simple yet powerful method of automating paper forms commonly used for field data collection purposes. While designed specifically for use on Tablet PCs, Forms2Base will also run on laptops and desktops running the Windows XP operating system.
