thanks for the link ...hmmm ..

Is it possible to transfer data from a PDA to an pen source Server like MySQl ?

How about trying the transfer the data fromthe PDA to XML and into the server ?? is it possible ??

Can anyone provide me with the necessary information ?

[DoobieKeebler]

Those have to be possible. There are real-world programs that seem to do that. Start with msdn.microsoft.com to get the how-to in general. Then head to www.mysql.com/products/connector/net to download the drivers. There should be some kind of documentation in there. If not, or if you need more ifo, start at [link]
