Take a look at www.satelliteforms.net it's a great product it will be really easy for you to use it if you have experience with VFP.

Another option is CASL, look in google for CASLPRO is more powerfull, but satellite forms it's a really RAD tool.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have other question.

>I we now have 2 different requests where customers want a hand held scanner or PDA scanner to gather data in a shop or wholesale environment and then exchange data with my VFP apps.
>
>One is inventory control where the scanner gets the barcode which brings up the part number and description and the user inputs the quantity on the shelf or whatever.
>
>The other is where the user goes around a repair shop and scans a barcode on a window tag. This will bring up the repair order in the PDA. Then we need one or more picklists to appear so the user can select things like the location and also change the expected finish date.
>
>In both cases the user would then place the scanner in the cradle or attach the USB cable and export the data so my VFP app can then update the proper tables from the PDA data. I also need to be able to update the data on the PDA with things like new part numbers, locations, vehicle IDs, etc. in existing tables on the PDA.

>Is there any software already available for this type of work that can be easily modified or does anyone know where to point me? I'm not sure where to start.
