iPad bluetooth keyboard disconnecting

I have an app called RDP that allows one to connect to their computer at work.

Problem is the keyboard bluetooth disconnects when RDP is opened. What a bummer it was my primary reason for ordering the keyboard. When I have a document open on the iPad its own keyboard takes up half the screen. Therefore the bluetooth purchase.

Any why around this?

Thanks Larryb

Use a different RDP app. I use [iTap RDP|http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itap-rdp-remote-desktop-for/id317062064?mt=8 ] and a Zaggmate Bluetooth keyboard. Note that not all keys are passed to the Windows environment correctly by all keyboards. For example, on the Zaggmate, it appears that the Command key is not recognized as the Windows key, which it is when using other keyboards. But the "basic" keys work fine.
