Re: Any suggestions on how to interface a PC and a handheld to share data?

With SQL Everywhere, you can use the SQL Mobile file directly on the PC.

I'm hoping there is a simple solution to this issue that I just haven't
seen.

Basically what I have is a handheld has all data stored in a sqlCE
database. I need to take that data to a PC and work with it.

So since I can't move an sqlCE database I need to turn it into XML and
then move the XML file. This all works nicely if I do it manually.

The issue comes up when I want to run it all from the PC without ever
touching the handheld.

So I can use RAPI to tell the handheld to generate the XML file. Thats
easy but How can I tell that the XML is finished being built?

If I just use RAPI to build the call a program to build the file and then
I use another rapi call to move the file back to the pc right away it may
be copying a partially built file.

So then I thought about adding a status file and a loop to know when the
file is finished building but this starts to turn into a nightmare of loop
timers rapi calls.

Basically I think I need to be able to recieve a remote event over the
wireless network. Is this possible? Am I looking at this all wrong?
