Hi,

Has anyone written anything in OI and successfully downloaded it to a PDA (Palm OS)? I have OI 7.2 on XP.

TIA,

Marty

Palms won't run Windows apps. Your best bet is to write a browser app on the PDA and communicate via HTTP with an OI App. This is relatively straightforward though not as feature rich as an OI app.

I looked into Palm / OI integration a few years ago. I concur with Sprezz - Web apps are easiest. As I recall, even if the Palm device is offline, you could write an application that consisted of static pages.

Option 2 is to create a standard Palm application, use ADO recordsets to synchronize with OI.
