filepro 2 palm, palm 2 filepro

[John Esak]

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying. If you separate the wireless
scanner from the handheld palm pilot stuff... we do that. In other words, we
use wireless scanners feeding filePro apps real time and getting bar coded
labels out real time... and etc. This requires nothing specail, no
go-betwen... although I'm not sure what you mean by that. The scanners we
have work through a keyboard wedge. So the info they gather is essentially
fed to the filePro apps as if it were typed in on a keyboard.  I have not
much to offer on the other aspect of working palm pilots into filePro...
I've done that with import/export certainly, but this is not a real time
thing... nor even an application thing... just transferring name/addresses
between the palm pilot database and a filePro database. For this, I simply
used the funtions available in the Palm O/S.

  I am trying to connect wireless handheld scanners/palm pilots (SYMBOLS) to
my filepro system. I haven't bought any handheld units yet but I'm assuming
they will come with something like windows CE. I want real time
functionality. I tried running filepro on a hendheld before and it was just
way too hard to work with, because of the size and limited keys. Is there
anything out there for a go-between, read/write directly to filepro files
and be reliable. The only thing I have come up with so far is using
incoming/outgoing text files and having each program read/post to the files.

  Any feedback on which handhalds work best, access points to use, etc...
would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank You, Mike Fedko
