Re: PDA identification

Couple of problems here.

XP cannot access any thing on the PDA. Only ActiveSync does that.

ActiveSync controls the XP folder name for each PDA. Not a problem with that, but I don't know which pda is being sync'ed, or better said sitting in the cradle. I guess I could ask the user which one he has, but I wanted to avoid that as they make mistakes.

Give the data collection folder in each pda a different, unique name, then have the xp pgm use those differing folder names to distinguish each pda?

Or, if you're not yourself physically setting up the pda's and can't therefore setup folders with differing names, then have the pda pgm, on first use, create a dummy file with a time-stamped name, assume that no pda user will setup the pgm at exactly the same time, and then have xp pgm route data according to those presumed differing dummy file names?
