Check out PPC Tablet (http://www.aacompserv.com/AACompWeb/Modules/PPCTablet/WhatIsIt.aspx?sys_NavBarSelectedNodeID=002.001.000). It does everything you've mentioned. There are also some downloadable profiles that extend the functionality of the application.

ok.
first of all, i can't choose in pda (mobile2003) the port for comunication.
a go to programs and choose active sync. Then i choose bluetooth conection and it says coms port already in use. (this option is for using bluetooth with activesync. another way it's creating a PAN, but i don't know how to do it.

my notebook detects my pda and i sincronize with a key 1234 and i can transfer files (but i can't make the pocket tablet comunicate with my pda.

when i'm using usb cable it works fine.

i hope you can help-me.

thanks

Check out this guide (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=3163) (there are more available if you search for it) for setting up a Bluetooth ActiveSync connection. This is often the biggest hurdle for many users, so once you get this out of the way, it should be a home run. Following that, simply launch PPC Tablet, type in the name or IP of your computer, and then hit the "Connect" button.

thanks.

my problem it's that i follow the guide and everthing works (almost), but when i go to my pda activesync and choose bluetooth comunication, it gives me an error (comuniction port already in use). i can't change any port because i can't find anywhere to do it. and i don't know whats the port in use.

thnks

The guide shows how to assign an incoming port on the computer. That's what needs changing. Delete the existing (if it's not in use) and assign a new port number (one you believe isn't in use). That should get things rolling.

Also, in ActiveSync, select File > Connection Settings, and ensure that the port number specified matches the one you've assigned in the Bluetooth settings.

i've ready the guide, but my problem it's not to make a incoming port in windows, because i can do that, know i have 4 incomings ports, but my problem it's not the computer, it's the PDA because it always says: "cannot start communications with the desktop computer. another program may be using the port". i've made a hard reset and nothing.
and i can't see what program it's using the port and i don't know what port can use.

i can pair my pda with my notebook and transfer files. but what i want it's, use activesync with bluetooth for use pocket tablet, or vnc.

i'm getting desperate.


thanks

Well, that was my previous point. While configuring incoming ports in Windows seems like a solution that's separate from the PDA, it is in fact related. You said you have four ports established. Are you using them all? If not, delete all but one. Your PDA will use whichever incoming port you have specified in that Bluetooth settings panel (since you've currently configured so many ports, it's getting confused and this is probably the reason why your PDA is having issues connecting). Also ensure the incoming port number that you have selected is specified in ActiveSync's Connection Settings.

ok, thats when i was disperate.

but i just use one and activesync has the same port.

my problem it's that my pda says port blocked, and it doesn't work
in activesync

Have you tried changing port numbers to one that isn't (apparently) blocked? Try choosing one that's higher, as often is the case that the lower port numbers are reserved for input devices.

my problem, it's that i can change the port that my pda is using, if i can change the port may be i can communicate with my notebook.

the main problem it's the pda and not the pc.

because i can send files from file explorer to my notebook.

but the pda activesync gives me always error (port is being used)

thanks
