Has anyone been able to sync HandyShopper pocketpc version with a desktop equivalent?

I have found Hanyshopper to be an excellant tool for quotes, facts, and illustrations. However, for it to be practical for me I need some kind of desktop companion.

Thanks

There are a few things if you poke around the HandyShopper Yahoo group. (It's linked from the HS author's site.) Most of them didn't work for me. I did have some success with the "HS2Edit" Excel spreadsheet but it was difficult to set up and very fussy to work with. I think most of these things are designed for the Palm version of Handyshopper and they don't all work with the PPC version.

Yesterday I took advantage of that special on Illium's ListPro, with the desktop companion. I still prefer HandyShopper for shopping lists, but I find ListPro better for most other kinds of lists, tips, records, collections, etc.

I just downloaded Remote Display from Microsoft and I am editing Handyshopper with it now. So far so good

I downloaded it. Pretty nifty. Unfortunately everything is jaggie on the PC side for me… not too pleasant to look at for a lot of editing. I guess it's not VGA compatible?

hmmmm....I don't know. I'm not sure what you mean by jaggie...but I did notice that when I am editing on the PC, the letters are slower to appear on the screen than how fast I am typing. Does that make sense? It doesn't really bother me because it is still faster than entering all my info with a stylus.

I could never figure out HS desktop editor......so this is a step up for me! :)
