I'm trying to port a windows app to palm via appforge.

The app reads a vending machine via a serial link and retrieves a data
stream of 70 -200 CRLF lines ~ 4k of data per machine. Typ 30 per day.  The
existing program writes the data to a separate  file for each reading.

In the palm environment I think I'm going to need to create a .PDB and write
a memo field with one record per reading.

Reasonable?  better approach?

Now I have a .PDB I need to get it to the PC where I can convert it and pull
it into Access where I will parce the data (150 fields).  Appforge has an
ODBC conduit ingot coming soon.

Can I automate this transfer or must I go thru the palm desktop? Customer
may have 10-15 palms to download.

Could I put this data into a memopad record and get to it easier?

TIA  John Wick
