Hi Anatoliy. Thanks for your reply.

I have a .dll sample (This is a VB6 sample I think) but i'm wondering how this could be converted into VFP code:
(This Dll is a ActiveSync piece of code that allows DeskTop access files (.Mdb) to be copied and translated to PocketPC access file (.cdb)


____________________________________________________________________
Declare Function DEVICETODESKTOP Lib "adofiltr.dll" _
(ByVal desktoplocn As String, _
ByVal tablelist As String, _
ByVal sync As Boolean, _
ByVal overwrite As Integer, _
ByVal devicelocn As String) As Long

Dim intRetVal as integer
'upload from the local DB to the desktop
DBintRetVal = DEVICETODESKTOP(txtDesktopDB.Text, _
"", False, True, txtPPCDB.Text)
If intRetVal <> 0 _
Then msgbox "An error occurred transferring the data" _
Else _
msgbox "Upload Successful"_
End If
Exit Sub
