It works great any everyone likes it :-) However, some people would like the fexibility to download to their palm, there timesheet, with all their projects so they can keep track of them on the palm, and then with the ability to merge/synce the data back to the time tracker... So for the palm, I can't write the system thinking there connected to the network, it has to be portable off the network, and then will resync back up, when they put the pda back on the cradle... So my theory was this, a (conduit) or whatever to download the db2 files that are relevant to that pda's owner... and then an app on the palm to edit/modify/delete their time... and then when set back on the cradle it will send to the 400 their new changes, and It will trigger a utility to merge the uploaded data into our master files... So in this type of environment, I didn't think i could use wml/hdml, or sockets... I could use sockets once I was connected to the cradle, but I believe that only works with serial connection cradles... so I figured writing a ftp hack was out... (if I was using a modem it would be a very serious option)... so my next approach is some type of conduit I believe... but i'm not totally sure yet.... Still learning.... hope this helps, and if you have more ideas, I'm very willing to listen/read... thanks for all the nice ideas so far.. tim > -----Original Message----- > From: Brad Stone [SMTP:brad@bvstools.com] > Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 1:15 PM > To: midrange-l@midrange.com > Subject: Re: Palm PDA <--> as/400 > > Tim, > > What type of markup language does a palm use?
