I have no control over this target application and its use of global variables... Perhaps this is the reason for which, when using PPI to launch it from plucker (PPI is set to Custom, Name: LexiCompInteract, no checkboxes selected, Command: CustomBase + 0) the Treo600 soft-resets before bringing up the external app.
Will doing a SysUIAppSwitch instead of a SysAppLaunch solve this problem?
Thanks for your assistance! -- Alex.
Alex:
I wrote the PPI 'Application'. Running another app from within aa application is tricky. The application must run with no access to global variables and have no static vaiables of it's own. If you look at the PPI code, you can see how this is done. _All_ variables must be passed to each function that uses them. If the application is set up to 'return to the previous app' (Plucker has a configure switch for this), It can re-start the application it came from. Check for 'RETURN_TO_PREV_APP' in the viewer code.
