I'm pretty sure OnValidate will still get called when the user hits the
HotSync button, as your app has to exit for HotSync to launch. However, the
checks you have added are probably a good idea anyway! :-)

Subject: Re: Validating turn off in Sat Forms
Hi Maxweell,
Thinking about this problem I notice, as we say in Brasil, "The hole in more
deep". Ok, if you turn off your palm and application do
not start validation I can't to ensure the user will press on/off switch. He
can press hotsynch press.
I have a main application and another to send data by modem/ftp. If I start
data send program with an incomplete record I'll send
corrupted data to server.
My solution:
I have a parameters table in my application and inserted two fields "what is
processing" and "record position"
When my communication program starts it check these fields and show "You
have a incomplete transaction in main application, finish
it and try again".
When my main program starts it checks these fields and show correct form
positioning it in correct record.
Cheers
Roberto Amorim
Sorry my bad english
