Is it an off the shelf component, or something they have the source to? It should be simple for them to modify, if the source is available. >I'm not sure if it would be acceptable to not sync the data if an edit was >in progress . . . the whole reason the user would be syncing is to sync the >information they would be editing in this app :( I realize that. And in theory a user should know enough to return to finish an edit if they jumped out to look up a phone number or whatever. But that is theory. If the user did not return to finish it up, this method would still just be a gentle reminder to go do so first, then return and Hot Sync again. The main benefit being you don't have the concern over syncing incomplete data while at the same time permitting the customary ability of a Palm user to change active applications at will. As noted elsewhere, the server design better accomodate a complete loss of data on the Palm too.
