We have a similar situation, where people use a hand held device to check the inventory in shops and warehouses. We created this application in C#. The device reads the necessary data before it's removed from the docking station, and the data is uploaded and synchronized when it's docked again.

Regarding Guinea, I suggest that you contact Christof directly. AFAIK the project is more or less put on hold.

>Maybe then the question would be which device they should purchase. They want their sales people to sell tickets on the street, it should be a one unit device with a small screen and a ticket printer that they can just carry around. What they found so far is for Windows CE.

>>>We have a C/S application in VFP9, and a client asks to build a user interface specifically for a Windows CE machine.
>>>Has anyone used Guinea which is supposed to make it possible to run a VFP application on a Windows CE computer?
>>>Or since it's a C/S application, it would not be too much work to build a separate client interface (we used a lot of stored procedures anyway), but which tool would be the best to use for a Windows CE client? It's a customized app so cross platform is not really an issue.
