I believe that if the receiving palm is not in the launcher. The database
will not be deleted (just push datebook button before receiving). It has
been a year or so since I looked at this so you might want to test it.

Subject: Beaming app deletes data

I added a "beam me" feature to my application like the example in
Beamer.c. When I beam to another Palm OS handheld that already has a
copy of the application, the database is replaced depending on the Palm
OS version in the receiving handheld.

If the receiving handheld has Palm OS 3.1.1, the application is replaced
and the database is deleted.

If the receiving handheld has Palm OS 3.5.3 or newer, the application is
replaced and the database remains intact.

Is this a known "feature"? And what Palm OS versions are affected? Is
there a way I can avoid having the database deleted by the beam?
