Citrix Hotsync Question

[Paul7905]

Hello there,

Have an unusual question. Has anyone had any experience hotsyncing palm handheld computers in a citrix environment?

specifically, i have written an inventory program for our palm computers using satellite forms and have written a conduit for data using Aaccess 2000 (the palms sync their data directly to an Access .mdb)

this all works fine in my stand alone development environment but now i want to put the Access application on our Citrix server and be able to hotsync to it from a network pc (i.e. i want to be able to install the hotsync software on the citric server along with the Access application and be able to hotsync to the application from a pc on the network)

i am running metaframe on the server now and have some access applications running under it presently (flawlessly i might add).

i would like to be able to, at a network pc, sign onto the Citrix access application that has the hotsync interface, connect a at the network pc, and hotsync to the app on the server. anyone have any ideas as to the viability of doing this?

This can be done, but it's been a while since I did it.

First the Hotsync app needs to be installed on the Citrix Server in change user/install mode.

The user who is going to use it needs to have his/her com port mapped with the net use command, in the login script.

When the user logs onto a Citrix session, it should work.

I hope this helps

You may have to set up all your palm pda's with a same common user ID for the hot sync to complete the link/authentication. -- Devil Dog --
