Hello Trip,
The connection will go through your wireless router, which will transfer the data between your tablet and PC. A USB cord cannot be used, unfortunately, as Google doesn't allow data transfers for apps over USB.
First, let me ask this: how far are you getting in the connection process before you run into a problem? Do you see the popup window on your PC identifying your tablet after you put the tablet into sync mode? If you double-click the tablet, is it unable to connect after that? If you at least see the popup, that's a good sign. If you are sure you don't have a firewall active (either Windows firewall or an anti-virus firewall), then I'm not sure what is blocking the connection between the PC and tablet. I'm still looking into ways to improve the connectivity, and make it a little more straight-forward. Let me know how far you are getting, and we will go from there.
Mike

I'm glad to help Trip. I really need to work on the connectivity issues though so users don't have to struggle so much.

In one day I was able to max out the trial, and happily ordered the full version.....seems like a very well thought out platform....only wish that the trial version went ahead and merged with the paid version so you didnt have to redo what you had already loaded.......not a big deal......and havent quite figured out how to control the scroll feature where it is usefull, but have a feeling I will footcontrol this before it is all said and done....thanks again for your quick responses to my issues...
