I
have had a couple of emails from folks for this kind of functionality so the following
email form Jaco was well timed. I wasn't able to run this sample - I seldom use
Pocket Access nowadays - preferring SS CE and I have some kind of problem with
my ActiveSync. See the "Problem" section below
for a description of the ActiveSync error I'm getting - I'm sure someone can shed
some light on it.
Download
the sample code. What is this? [From Jaco van
Eeden] This little app calls the Active Sync from the
Pocket PC. It requires a few API calls. Please save the
.mdb file on the desktop, then copy it over to the PPC and save it in the
"\My Documents" directory. Also set it up in Active Sync to Syncronize
the 2 files. Brief Description [From Jaco van Eeden] - It
is a single form app that has 8 buttons. The 4 bottom buttons are general database
moving buttons.
- The button "Clear", clears
the text fields.
- the button "Add to Local",
saves the newly typed information to the database on the PPC.
- The
button "Sync To Desktop", calls the Active Sync Function and then the
user must simply push the "Sync" button to have the info on the Desktop.
(Hopefully)
As an aside - problem [note from
Derek] As mentioned above I was
unable to run this code for reasons I presume are related to my ActiveSync setup.
I cannot copy the mdb file to my Pocket PC using ActiveSync - I get the
following error when I try to do the copy to the My Documents folder using
the ActiveSync Explorer. I'm loathe to reinstall since I have not had any
other problems. 
Enabling
the Pocket Access sync option results in the following "Attention required"
error: 
Please
drop me an email if you have the solution
and I'll post it here. Back to Starting Out | [Article Index] |
