I have an app on my iPad called PocketCloud. It is basically a Remote Desktop program as well. Works for what I need.

RBaseAnother approach is to use a batch scanner. You can scan the inventory and then return to a PC and unload the scanner memory into RBASE. I have several clients that use batch scanners and they are very pleased with the results. One advantage with the batch method is that there is no RF, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection required. One client took their batch scanner to a business that they were buying, scanned their inventory, and brought the inventory back to their business to analyze inventory. I’m sure the batch scanner would not work in all situations but if your inventory has a bar code on every unit the batch scanner is worth considering. I haven’t priced them recently but I believe they are about $800 for a commercial grade scanner (Symbol/Motorola).

RBase Larry, (Sorry. A little late continuing this thread.) You have a hand scanner running your RBase app remotely so you can update RBase forms directly? That sound like what my customer needs when they are performing a physical inventory. No need to upload data since you are working directly with the data base. What is the approx cost for one of those scanner/smartphones? TIA, Dennis ***** At 05:42 PM 9/1/2011, you wrote: Thanks Larry, I don't see a downside to this approach. The user is taking his Windows PC in his pocket. Whatever restrictions placed on that network user when they are logged into their Windows PC stay with them when they make their rounds through the plant with their pocket PC (smartphone). In my situation, even one user logged in at a time would be OK.

RBase At a customer yesterday and one of the engineers had his Windows desktop from his PC on his smartphone using "Terminal Services". I guess we don't need Windows on a smartphone, just remote access to a Windows PC with our RBase app. Anyone else think this might work for your RBase application?
