I've got a Symbol PPT2700 ppc, but it's not .NET compatible.
So I can't use B4PPC on, or compile apps for it.

The ptt2700 has a built in barcode scanner.
I can scan straight into an app onto the device.

What I want is a compiled app for the device that
can scan a barcode into a Label, and send that info to com1.
As long as the device is connected to my laptop I can
read the scan code via the serial port and b4ppc.

I've tried to install eVC etc on my laptop, but this messes with
Vis 2005pro that I have installed.

Alternatively, could any one point me in the right direction
of a programming software that I could use on the ppt2700
to achieve what i'm after :sign0137:

No harm in asking :cool:

Did you try to install .Net CF 1.0?

Sir, you are a genius :wav:
I thought CE3.05 wouldn't work with the .NET CF ??
See this post http://www.b4x.com/forum/questions-...-windows-ce-v3-barcode-scanner.html#post24177

I've spent the biggest part of a year on google looking for a
programming language that will work on the PPT2700.

I've installed .Net CF 1.0 It complained it was incompattible.
But installed it anyway :)

I made and compiled a simple device helloworld.exe, non optimized,
on the desktop, copied it to ppt and it works :sign0060:

Then I installed b4ppc6.50 on the device.
It works:sign0098:
It's very slow but hey. When were at the lake and the wife is fishing.
"She doesn't do computers :confused:"
I can sit and play with the ppt and basic4ppc

You deserve a medal the size of a dustbin lid :sign0188:
