I did not mean to belittle the program functionality, but here are some points based upon experience: 1. Your description of the PDA application has not changed; its primary function is to record data. That's one level of PDA programming. 2. You want to send data to the PC application; that's a second level of programming, to write a custom HotSync conduit.
The advantage of all three of the alternative environments that have been mentioned (HB++, nsBasic, and Satellite Forms) is that they all provide the following: 1. A faster way to develop data-based forms. Faster as in less learning and less code to write. 2. Pre-built data transfer conduits that require little or no programming to use. It looks like you are headed down the right track. ____________________________________________ Lee Church www.mobitechsystems.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 4:24 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: RE: Help with new program This program does more than collect data. The user enters test data while taking readings. The program then sends the data to a desktop program. The Desktop program then updates the customer's file with the new data and alerts other computers of the changes. Sending data to the desktop may be immediate if connected via BlueTooth or at a later time by docking handheld. Additionally when the handheld sends the data to the desktop, the desktop program doesn't have to be running, it will read the files the next time the program is run. I have downloaded HB++ and currently studing its help files. If anyone out there would like to help, I can send you the Visual Basic version.
