I'm trying to port a VB6 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?
Is there a "better" newsgroup to answer these questions?
TIA John Wick
