The purpose is an inventory-taking/ordering system effected via a wireless-connected palmtop.
In the interest of clarity what OS is the palmtop running and is the wireless built in or a flash card. Have you considered RFID tagging
the buildings and using that to trigger the change of AP rather than
wireless?


The palmtop runs windows CE, and has built-in wireless. RFID would be an add-on hardware module. It's available, but lacking any other need for RFID on the unit, would be an expensive way to trigger zone swaps.

I can do the automatic switch now, but slowly. I'm just looking for a way to speed up the operation, so it appears more or less 'seamless' to the user.

Thanks, my limited past experience with Win Mobile 2003 was that I couldn't find a program that would give me reliable, repeatable WiFi signal levels to do the automatic switching you envisage based on signal level.
