Thanks to Mark Smith and Henry Lowe, I know that I’m supposed to set up mergNotify for two notifications as below.
I believe I’ve done this, and I’ve set a monitoring action (putting a text into a field) to show that these notifications have happened. Of course it may be just me, but so far, I only seem to get the notification when the app comes back into the foreground (so logically it must have gone the background first), but I just don’t get the ‘going in to the background' notification, or at least my monitoring doesn’t work. Is there some trick of timing that I’ve missed?

I do some db cleanup at that time and it seems to work. > > Mark _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
