There are certain launch codes that HotSync broadcasts to your app during and after a HotSync. If your app does not properly handle these launch codes (e.g., it tries to access globals, or in C++ land, it tries to call virtual functions or access a static member variable), then it will crash. sysAppLaunchCmdHandleSyncCallApp is one such launch code, as is sysAppLauncCmdSyncNotify. Make sure you're hadling launch codes properly. One test is to go into the Launcher, and then do a 'find' for an arbitrary string of text. Palm OS will eventually issue your app a sysAppLaunchCmdFind, which is a good (but not exhaustive) way to test whether your app can handle launch codes without blowing up. > When we do this on emulator it works ok.

So you set up the Simulator to do a HotSync ( http://tinyurl.com/k0v0 ), established a profile with an initial HotSync, used the Install tool to install your PRC to that profile, and then did a follow-up sync to install it, and it crashes? -Jeff Ishaq -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
