Yes, I had a table linked to a DB and was passing an invalid parameter when I got to the top or bottom of the table. Fixed my indexing and the problem went away. - Original Message - From: Tim Astle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: palm-dev-forum To: Palm Developer Forum

Re: power estimation

Hardware access would need to be sorted out through, e.g. how much power does the UART chip use when the port is open, sending, etc?? That part may be hard to nail down. Different models seem to draw varying amounts of power. I've even seen the current consumption vary between units of the

Short cuts do work. You're most likely not entering it correctly. You have to enter them in some sort of edit field. The one generally used is the find dialog. - Original Message - From: Boris Perron [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Palm Developer Forum palm-dev-forum@news.palmos.com Sent:

You can't write to ROM. That why its ROM. If you're talking about FLASH, there are applications (like FlashPro) that allow you to move whole databases into FLASH but not record by record (except if you are using a TRG Pro) - Original Message - From: Prasad [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Palm

Re: Drifting digitizer

2008-05-29 Thread Dave Lippincott
I've also seen this due to a dirty screen. Lots of oil from your hand and dust/dirt seems to affect the screen resolution over time. Wipe the screen with a Palm-friendly cleaner and a soft rag. Most of the time I found the digitizer didn't need to be recalibrated with a clean screen. -

Re: Is it possible to upgrade/downgrade to a new Palm OS version?

2008-05-29 Thread Dave Lippincott
I'd be afraid that I would reFLASH my Palm one too many times (even if you could downgrade OS versions) and then have an expensive paper weight. Find someone with an older Palm for sale. I keep at least 1 of every model for OS compatibility testing (my apps also use the serial port heavily).
