Hi all. I am trying to delete a database from my iPAQ 2210 as when I try and sync it it gives errors if the database already exists. I wanted to write a batch file or something which I can click before I sync and it will delete the file from the PDA. I have tried Remote Command 1.2 but I can't manage to delete anything in directories which have a space in the name eg. "Program Files". If it is a one word directory I have no problems. Can anyone help?

Thanks for that. Unfortunately not much help though as they are both applications for the PDA. I needed an application which I can run from my PC and whilst the PDA is connected, I can delete files from it through the PC. You may be asking why I just don't browse to the file through the explorer and delete it that way? Well, my client is *very* PC illiterate and I wanted to keep as much transparency as possible hence the need for some sort of batch file she can merely click to do this.
