... maybe I expressed myself bad. But what I do is only like this: This is the path to the network from the Pocket to the PC: cDirBills := “\\demo\c\bills"” aInfo := Directory( cDirBills + "\*.dbf" ) FOR I := 1 TO Len( aInfo ) Here is what I do with the files NEXT Now I thought to ...
... file -Send the table dbf file with filecopy to the server – there my FW-software prints the order and copies the file to the directory where the bills are stored and deletes the lock file. - then I reopen the table for billing. -again a lock file is created on the server – with filecopy I copy ...
... a table number and then the sorting • Speed: if the restaurant/bar has a high frequency a unique dbf would grow and then how to handle the paid bills – a kind of record recycling would be necessary this with indexes could make problems • As far as I know record or file locking with pocket PC ...
Encrypt customer's name into a key string , save to somewhere as a file or in databse, for much more bills must printer customer's name . On login time, compare stored customer name and encrypt key string .

Maybe someone joins development for this “bill-browser” Regards Otto Here is a link for a demo: http://www....
