Todd, I don't think the databases of an application will get deleted if you replace the application with a new version during hotsync. Of course, you will need to make sure your new app version can understand the data format of the old application. You may need to store a version number with the databases (preferences) and check at startup of your application if there is a need to adjust the format. There was recently a thread discussing this in the conduit forum: http://www.escribe.com/computing/pcpcdf/m8376.html Hope this helps, Oliver __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
