Run extension from VBScript

[RussellKallstrom]

Perhaps a newbie question, but hopefully that means I'll get a quick answer.

I want to run Craig Greenwald's extension (SynchronizeSystemWithGPS.zip) to synchronize the palm device's system clock to the GPS, once it gets a valid fix.  I'd like to do it from form initialization code (VBScript) rather than making it be something the user has to do separately from the tools menu.

Anybody know how to do this?

I'm using ArcPad 10.0 R4 on Windows Mobile 5, if that makes a difference.

Russell,

The Synchronize system clock with GPS clock (Extension dll) referenced in your post is from Feb 2003 when ArcPad v6.0 release was available & supported mobile devices with Windows CE 4.2 OS and ARM processors. I am unaware of testing w/ArcPad v10.0 release on Windows Mobile v5.0 or later OS with this extension yet these still support ARM processors. Your other post -http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/59886-OLD-EXTENSIONS-NO-LONGER-WORK-IN-ARCPAD-10?p=271523&viewfull=... - says "I have no problem with the GPS to system clock extension...using a Juniper Archer running WinMo 5 & ArcPad 10.0 R4"; does this mean that you are now able to use the Craig's custom ArcPad extension? Also glad to see your post on ArcGIS Ideas site as that would have been my next recommendation.

Cheers,
Denise
