Actually not that unusual a request. By all means trap appStopEvent. It'll catch 95% of the problem. But its not really necessary You'll also need to keep track of the program status for when the user does a RESET or your program fails, and then put some code in the sync software to not sync a database with incomplete data. That should catch the other 5% (or if you don't bother with trapping appStopEvent it'd trap all 100%) Roger Stringer Marietta Systems -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
