It might help to know what I am trying to do.
A very small warehouse just got a portable scanner. On recieving data,
the data is scanned in, then the data from the scanner is transfered to
a desktop PC. After the data is transfered to the PC, the user needs to
update the online database with that data. The database is kept online
because the clients need to view the inventory.
The process needs to be simplified as much as possible because the
warehouse workers are not that sophisticated with technology.
I don't think the online system can directly access the portable
device. Even if the device is connected, and ActiveSync is running. So
there must be a temporary stage, where a file is kept on the desktop
PC.
