Thaks for the reply Ryan,
U ve got a very good and easy way of doing this.
My mistake of not explaining the whole issue. My PPC application has a
counterpat that sits on the desktop. Now this application puts files in a
folder say, c:\program files\MyApp\Images. unfortunately this application has
already been deployed to clients and is doing well. So i cannot distrutb that
application. Whatever has do tbe done has to be done at PPC end.

Is a web service the only option - :o(

As an alternate, Is there not a equivalent of RAPI, that is - execute exe's
in desktop from the device. By this way, i can write a desktop executable
that will do the copying from the desktop to the device using RAPI. I hope u
get what i am asking.

i am working late.. So not sure what am i missing.

Sure, any pointers will be appreciated countless times.. I am really tired
and this is the last stage of my work.. :o(((

thanks for any pointers
Boris.
