190 Part 6: Windows Mobile application Sharing data between two applications  A WINDEV Mobile application for Windows Mobile can share data with a standard WINDEV application. You have the ability to use: • a standard WINDEV application used to handle the entire database. • a WINDEV Mobile application used to handle the entire database or part of this database. When two applications share the same data, the data files can be managed according to two different methods: • Handling the same data files : The two applications handle the same data files. These data files are found on the PC. The WINDEV Mobile application accesses the data files by Wi-Fi, by infrared, by GPRS, ... HSubstDir allows you to specify the data directory to use. For example: application for taking orders in a restaurant. The new orders are automatically sent to the database found on the PC. • Copying data files on the mobile device : All data files (or some of them) are copied onto each mobile device (Pocket PC for example) beforehand. Each application handles its own files. To take into account the modifications performed in each application, the data files must be synchronized (automatically or not). For example: poll application performed in the street. The answers will be available in the WINDEV application once the data files have been synchronized.
