To accomplish this, I would take an odd route. On demand, I would use cfexecute cook up a WinZip self installer on the server side (which contained the files I would need to sync). The user would download and execute it. The self extractor would place the files in a temp directory. Then it would execute a small program (forgot the name, darn useful program though) to place the files in the user's sync queue.
Not completely automated and a little convoluted, but closest I could do at the time without a sync server.

I believe it is just a dll installed into the Palm desktop software. I am assuming you want this conduit to pull data from a CF server before sending data to the Palm. Delta Airlines has one that checks to see if their schedule has changed via the web every time I sync my Palm. If you can create a PDF, Adobe has a Palm reader that is easy to send data to the Palm. Still if you want to automate it you will have to check out the Palm developer web site. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 12:05 PM Subject: RE: Synching with a PDA? > I don't think it's a matter of simply creating a file.
