Hello All , We have observed that the SrmOpenBackground doesnot open the port in background mode in Palm OS 5.0 however it does open as background in Palm OS 4.x . Either this is true or there is a problem with Hotsync application that it is not able to open the port which is currently in background mode in the foreground mode ? Please help ASAP . Thanks , Marianne .
