Bingo -- it could be a 3Com Network HotSync, or one of the 3rd party
multi user sync products, or maybe the Palm user won't even be around
when the sync happens. Say they were issued a random organizer in the
morning, and they return it at the end of the day and go home. There's
a whole separate department of people who hand out the organizers and
simply shove them into cradles when they get returned.
This latter scenario >really< tightens things, it means the user can't
be permitted to leave unfinished records in any "limbo" or "scratch"
database waiting for the "next time" they run the app, because there
won't be any next time. So the application interface really needs to
enforce all needed validation at record entry time.
