Notification Ideas

[Jeff Barnes]

Hi,

I am trying to come up with a way to send a notification from a program running on a desktop over to a pocket pc.

Data would be collected on the desktop.
If the data matches a certain situation (For simplicity let's say x = 1) I want to have something pop up on the pocket pc letting the user know the situation has happened.

My thought was to have a shared dbf and simply set a flag if x=1
The app on the pocket pc could use a timer to check the dbf every second. If the flag is set, the pocket pc would beep and show something on the screen.

I was wondering if anyone has other ideas as to how this could be done.

Jeff,

Why you dont use Socket ?

maybe is the best way to comunication.

only my option. dbf is fine too. ( more think that you dont need it for this work. )
