Even if you do launch the HotSync app, the user will have to press the button on the screen. Since user intervention is required anyway, why not just display a message telling the user to HotSync, and letting them start the sync in their usual way? Many users will probably be confused if you just send them straight to the HotSync app, since they're used to using the cradle button. If you still want to launch the HotSync app, use DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator for type='appl' and creator='sync'. -Ben -- Ben Darnell [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://thoughtstream.org Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP/GPG key 1024D/1F06E509 -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
