I use an internal flag, when the user creates a new record, so that if they
delete it while they are still working on it, I can completely remove it
from the database (DmRemoveRecord). If the user navigates to a different
record (or creates another new one), this flag is reset (only applies to the
currently active record in my case). If they later delete the record, I use
DmDeleteRecord.
The conduit looks at the record dirty flag, to see which records need to
come to the desktop (dirty = modified since last sync). This will catch the
deleted 'new' records as well. If they don't exist on the desktop side, and
are deleted on the remote/palm side, I simply let the conduit remove them
completely.
