Yeh sorry about that, I'll fill in the gaps for you.
The scanner (http://www.socketcom.com/product/IS5024-608.asp) is in the CF slot on a Trimble Recon PDA. The PDA has an embedded wifi for network connectivity and is running PPC2005
The user establishes a terminal services session via wifi to use their app. Once they have the TS application up, they then operate the barcode scanner.
Since we cannot get the scanner data into the TS session, I installed the "Terminal Services Web Access" component on the TS server.
My thinking for this was that I could establish a TS session via the IE browser on the PDA, and then hopefully the IE browser might accept the data from the scanner (being a local app) and pump it back to the TS application.
So I did that and tested TSweb from a workstation first and logged in fine. I did notice that an activeX component was installed when first connecting.
Now when I tried that from the PDA, the activeX component was not installed (nor prompted to install, I'm guessing because of the ppc2005 o/s) and I believe that is my problem on the PDA = No Terminal Services ActiveX Client for PPC2005
You mentioned that I would need to develop a virtual channel and software for it to work via the TSclient, unfortunately thats beyond my capabilities.
So I'm still trying to figure out a way to get the scanner data back to the TS application.

Maybe I'm not understanding what your looking for. Is this scanner on a com port? If the scanner is aprt of the pda how are you testing it on a PC? I'm confused and feel I'm missing something..

I have just enabled TSWEB on the server and from an XP desktop PC it works well.
However from Pocket PC 2005 in the IE browser, the drop-down "size" box is empty and the "connect" box is grayed out.
Any idea's on that one?
Many thanks
Is there some IE s/w component missing from PPC2005

I have a Trimble PDA PPC2005 and a "Socket" Barcode scanner in the CF slot ( & internal wifi nic for network connection)
Capturing the barcode information into a local PDA app works fine.
However, it will not capture info via a terminal services session
Is this a TS limitation? idea's anyone
Cheers.
