Oops! confused the Windows with Windows CE :-D You must be using some kind of IR dongle and the stack provided by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer is IrDA complaint then you don't need anything special to do and the program will work irrespective of whether you are exchanging data with PC or Palm. If you are storing data in PRC in order to beam it then Exchange manager will be sufficient for the purpose however I'll advise you to use PDB files. If for any reason you wish to differentiate between the different clients then you'll need jump into Ir Library where using the info in IAS data one can differentiate between the various recepients.
