Got a new scanner. Came with WM 6.1 and the RDP works fine. Was able to set up a DC user. Evo runs great.  
 
One problem - what to do about a scanning app?  
 
It comes with something call Rapid Deployment, but I have no idea what that is for. It keeps looking for packages. It has a test mode for scanning barcodes, but it does not actually scan them in. I think it is asking for a set of codes to program itself, but nothing came with the unit.  
 
So, my question is, what do you use for scanning software?

There is no Pervasive client for Win Mobile so you have to use RDP

Just an update:
 
We finally have the one thing we wanted most when we first started using DBA (12 years ago?): accurate inventory information at the touch of a button. As of July 1st, we have deployed a cheap wedge-type bar code scanner and wireless laptop solution to use the HH menu and have closed the inventory loop. We now have complete real time inventory tracking for all our work order, purchase order and sales order activity. Nothing move in out out of stock without being recorded. When DBA says there are 2 in the box, there are 2 in the box. We have a around 2500 active items in a 5000 item inventory and around 300 multi-level BoMs to keep track of, so this is a big step up for us. And once we committed to it, it was much easier than we thought.
 
So don't give up. It can be done and it's worth it.
