POSE doesn't make the restriction, its actually a message from the debug ROM images you're using. This restriction isn't arbitrary. The redraw logic in Palm OS doesn't handle overlapping forms that aren't bottom justified in low memory conditions. If there's enough memory to save the bits behind every form, you're OK, but if the OS has to send frmUpdateEvents, you may not have your forms properly redrawn when the top one goes away. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Palm OS programming help @ www.palmoswerks.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
