Has anyone or does anyone have their 8125/Wizard running pocket pc 2003? I would like to use Money for Pocket PC, but Mobile 2005 changed something in the networking and when I sync it with money it actually corrupts the db. Thanks!
Is there any software that I can manage (sand/receive) SMS appart from outlook and the plugin?
Try out 'Jeyo Mobile'
Try Pocket Controller Pro. I am using it and it works super for me.
You may also try SPStudio.
SPStudio consists of two programs, one for your mobile device and one for your PC. Connect your PPC to your PC via Active Sync, run the SPStudio "slave" on your PPC and then the controller-part on your PC. I've tested it on WinXP with WM2003 but it might run with WM5 as well.
Hi,
I need to start a program on my PC from my XDA (connected by ActiveSync 4.5). I'm running Windows Mobile 5. How could this be done?
Regards, Gerrit
therminal services
and vnc
are 2 ways to do it
I don't want to see the PC's screen on my PDA (will be very slow anyway). I just need to be able to start a program (for example "notepad.exe") on the PC. I don't have to see the program on my PDA. It just has to run on the PC. That's all!
Regards, Gerrit
I think it is only possible to start an application on the device
from desktop with RAPI. The other way is not possible with
ActiveSync. You can write your own server that runs on the desktop
and a client on the ppc. Then send commands from pda client
to the server that starts then your application.

Hello Hauser,
Problem is that the command has to be possible both with ActiveSync (cable) and when syncing with GPRS/UMTS (wireless). Could this be done with RAPI?
Regards, Gerrit
If you use GPRS then you cannot use ActiveSync.
ActiveSync is only possible if you connect via USB.
RAPI can only be used from a desktop application to communicate with
the pocket pc, copy files, start applications on the PPC,...
So what do you want to do exactly with your app?

when connected to the pc using activesync or wifi or bluetooth PEN
make a normal network connection
and it should be transparent for the applications as they just see the connection
Hi Houser,
1. My PDA application exports lines from a PDA database to .CSV files.
2. On my PC I have to run an import & conversion program to load the exported lines into a server database
3. My PDA has to import other (new) files into the PDA's relational database
With USB syncing this works fine. I now have to run the PC's program manually. I want to control the whole process now from my PDA.
That's all...
Regards, Gerrit
If I remember right, a drive symbol is mounted on "My Computer" when Active Sync connects the device, right? So has anyone already tried to use an autorun enrty (autorun.inf like on CDs) on the PocketPC?

So ok.
I would do this as follows:
1) Write a desktop application that uses ActiveSync RAPI to start you PDA export application
2) Then in your desktop app use RAPI to copy the file from PDA to desktop
3) In your desktop app start the import & conversion program with the file from the pda
4) If you want to import a file to the PDA database you can copy with RAPI to pda and then start with RAPI the pda import application
So I would not go on searching how to start a app on desktop from pda. Let the desktop application handle it.

Hi,
Problem is that a technician on location (at a customer or at home) should be able to synchronise, without going to the office. In other words: the PDA is the device that starts the communication process, not the PC! This is also what is so problematic...
Regards, Gerrit
about autorun on the pda then i dont think it will work havent made the test
but modile devices like
gmail drive
digicams
and such dont get drive letters
and i think only devices which get drive letters can use
autostart because those other devices dont seem to be "really" connected untill one click on them
you could write a service for the pc which would be listening for a network connection from the pocketpc
you could make it so it would run any applications you told it
you could give it a parth and arguments
then as soon as you got a network connections by what ever means your pda could start sending commands to the pc which it would then execute as in start programs
of cause it does require you to code a bit of c++ or .net but not tooo complex stuff if one is a programmer
Two points:
The PDA is not mounted as a drive, ActiveSync controls all access to it (even though it is integrated in the explorer) so autorun.inf can not work.
Redugar is right, for you purpose - accessing the PC directly and by remote, you need a little server app on the PC. Just use windows sockets to listen to a connection.
On the PPC side you can use the constant ppp_pear when the device is synced to get the PC address and the regular IP (I assume you have a static IP) for access via GPRS.
I did something like this a couple of years back - a server on the PC that checks a page for updates and provides them to a device when it connects and asks for them.

Their software controls programs such as PowerPoint, WMP etc, might be a script out there that you could modify to open any program. Connects via BT and WiFi. Works real nice with my wizard with my MCE Dell running Toshiba BT Software.

Yeah. Salling Clicker is a great software for starting or ending programs on your pc using bluetooth or wifi! the first time i installed the software,i was amazed and i played a prank on my sister.she thought that there was something wrong with the computer because it started itunes/powerdvd on its own... and i was in the other room controlling my pc..hahaha...
i've Been looking for a "script" that'll allow you to open any file/program (so are a lot of people who use salling clicker)..been following it up and As far as i know, there is still no Salling Clicker "script" that allows you to open any program on your pc.. you have to make a "script" specific to the program you want to start/control/stop.

What?
ActiveSync can work through Bluetooth or Infrared as well.
Also, why go through all of this trouble? Run an SSH server on the PC. SSH into the PC.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> start "C:\Program Files\My Program Path\My Program.exe"
Doesn't this do what you want?
I need to synchronize my Touch Cruise with Microsoft Access on my desktop (Windows XP) but who develops database (SprintDB, f.e.) writes me:
"there is no way to synchronize database files on Windows Mobile 6 because Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 does not support database sync"
In fact i can not to find anymore Pocket Access
There is some experienced that can help me to resolve this problem?

If you have room on your device, you can set the database to sync under "Tools/Settings/Options" by placing the database in the "Files" folder to be sync'ed. I often do this for Excel files that I need to keep a current copy on my phone. (I have XP Pro and ActiveSync 4.5.)
Good luck!

I just try it but WM6 do not know the extension ".mdb" (Micoroft Access) and the file is invisible by device (maybe must to have extension .cdb)!
Moreover i nedd to sybcronized it because the tables change day by day (hour by hour !)
I've just checked the sprintdb site, and a new version has been released, 4.0.
According to them there is a new conversion database utility. The screenshot shows the conversion from mdb to cdb, but I don't know if it is possible the contrary (just browsed it) and also synchronisation.
One of the most useful things I can do with my HD2 is to run access files .mdb containing Visual Basic scripts. I couldn't find a Mobile version for MS access.
Anybody knows if it's possible? It would be really grateful
The very first versions of Pocket Office for Windows CE had Pocket Access. It was removed for some reason in later versions of Pocket Office/Office Mobile. Maybe some other office packages still offer Access file support or you can somehow find Pocket Access as a cab from some old device.
Even with an old CAB, you will have trouble with the databases. PPC2003 (if not 2002) has Mobile Access, and at that time, the ActiveSync can convert the Access MDB database to the mobile CDB databases. Either you are creating the databases on HD2 itself and forget about the activesync, or you will also need to hope that the pre-V4 activesync can work on your Windows and the HD2.
Actually yeah I am having really hard time running mdb files on HD2. What a loss..
Is there any news about ms office access for windows mobile 6.5? Maybe there is a some kind of aplication or program who is able to read and edit access files. Did somebody knows anything about this?

Try kaione.com, they have also - slightly buggy - sync client
I use Data on the Run to good effect on my WM6 iPAQ 214. I haven't tried it on my HD2.
