Hi Tracy
I am trying your approach but get an erro:

lcStoreAW=[ C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\pcAnywhere\Store]+TRANSFORM(tiBusLocID)+[_ToHQ.CHF"]

o = CREATEOBJECT("AWREM32.APPLICATION")
o.awConnect(lcStoreAW)
llResult = o.FileXferToHost( tcDestination,tcSource)
o = NULL

This get run on the remote and the receiving computer (host) has PCAW running in host mode

this line:
llResult = o.FileXferToHost( tcDestination,tcSource)

gives an ole error code 0x80029c4a error loading type library..


Can you help?

>>It's not urgent for me, I've just got a Data Entry application, which is written by my colleague. I need to add all File Maintenance stuff (Archiving, Putting on disketts, etc.; I was thinking, it would be good to invoke PCAnywhere directly from this application). I'm currently just getting customized with this application...

I'll pop on the UT if I can. If it's not with my general location of stuff and I have to 'dig' for it, then it'll be this weekend.

>>>>>Yes Nadya, You can invoke pcanwhere and run a script where you can define whatever you want including the upload and download directories. I had actually done that a couple of years ago with an older version for transferring of inventory levels before we starting using ftp. I had scripts for full automation as well as user prompts. I called it from VFP, but I do NOT remember how I did it now! (It figures! It was one of those 'do it once then forget about it' tasks I was assigned). Since we never had any problems, I never had to look at the code again. I'll see if I can find my code somewhere this weekend...
