DeviceToDesktop/DesktopToDevice Function

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I'm doing small program using VB 6 to tests receive/send from/to pocketpc
pda files.

I have used DeviceToDesktop function successfully but DesktopToDevice not
jet.

Some helps mention CERapiInit or CERapiInitEx functions from rapi.dll should
be used before above functions to clear Windows CE Rapi but I don't know how
I should declare CERapiInit function.

Code used:

Private Declare Function DESKTOPTODEVICE Lib _
"c:\program files\Microsoft ActiveSync\adofiltr.dll" _
(ByVal desktoplocn As String, _
ByVal tablelist As String, _
ByVal sync As Boolean, _
ByVal overwrite As Integer, _
ByVal devicelocn As String) As Long

Private Declare Function DEVICETODESKTOP Lib _
"c:\program files\Microsoft ActiveSync\adofiltr.dll" _
(ByVal desktoplocn As String, _
ByVal tablelist As String, _
ByVal sync As Boolean, _
ByVal overwrite As Integer, _
ByVal devicelocn As String) As Long
...
Dim Lresult As String
Lresult = 0
Lresult = DESKTOPTODEVICE(App.Path & "\prueba.mdb", "Clientes..", False,
True, "\prueba.cdb")
...

*****
Above function returns 0 then it have success.
*****

Lresult = 0
Lresult = DESKTOPTODEVICE(App.Path & "\prueba.mdb", "Clientes..", False,
True, "\prueba.cdb")
...

*****
Above function returns -2146824448 then it have not success.
*****

How should I declare CERapiInit function?

Maybe I'm doing something else wrong. What could be?

THANKS!

From ActiveSync 3.7 the desktoptodevice function no longer overwrites an
existing database, so check if the remote file exists first and if so
delete/rename/move it first.
