Let me start with what I have then get to where I would like to go. Hopefully someone has some good suggestions.
I have 10 pcs each running their own vb apps using an access database. approx 50 handheld scanners (4 scanners per pc, some with a few more) running a C app with interface with the vb apps via tcp active x control.
I recently learned the scanners can run a http client, which I've tried, works real nice.
As you can understand updating 50 handhelds can be a real pain.
What I would like to do is centralize to SQL (I've started this already) and run the web browser on the scanners.
I would like to keep the vb apps intact as much as possible.
I'm not sure exactly how to interface the web page with the individual vb app to trigger an event.
I thought straight from the web page, or maybe somehow when data is placed into a table the vb app can trigger an event.
It is very time critical, so a timer is out of the question.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
