I don't know the particulars of your application, but you generally want to
support receiving a beam when your app is running. To do so, just close your
databases first, and then re-open them after the database is received.
For example, suppose you're writing a DOC reader. If someone beams you a
version of the same DOC you're reading, you should close it first, accept
the new DOC, re-open it, and finally update the display. The current scroll
position may be invalid; you should probably just scroll to the top.

You might want to ask the user before overwriting.
