Hot Sync

I will shortly need the capability to transfer files from my izibasic program to my PC. Can anyone give me some insight how to do this? I am thinking its probably that the Hot Sync manager just uses a dll to do that. I can make calls to it using C++ or something.

Hello Watts,
I personally never got into the development of conduits and I use some workaround to exchange data between the PC and the Palm.
After a HotSync is performed, I retrieve the target database in the Backup folder of HotSync. I then parse it with some PC home made software (A MS Access script indeed) and inject the data in a MS Access database for further treatment. I do the same thing the other way and build a new Palm database which will be parsed by my iziBasic program to reinject new or modified records in the main database.
This way of doing is cottage industry... and using a conduit would be much smarter!
Cheers, aldweb

I was thing of simply adding and removing files from the backup folder. Does this folder location change acording to Hotsync manger version.

Indeed, it did change over time. It used to be in "C:PalmBackup[User ID]" in standard if I remember well, now it should be in "C:Program FilesPalmBackup[User ID]" or something like that, but the installation procedure lets you install it where you want. This path should be set somewhere in the registry or in an .ini file. I personally check the exact path each time and put it in a variable.
