Am piloting a database using an Asus EEE Touch tablet PC as I need more screen space than, say, a Palm device. I lost a number of records today due to an abnormal program termination. I get these when accidentally trying to fill text fields beyond their capacity (though I don't think that was the case today) but my real issue is how to be sure to minimise data loss in the event of any sort of problem as I'm not convinced that Windows is as robust as Palm OS in this regard.
It seems to me that the Palm version saves each record to disk when I use an Action button to create a new record, but the desktop version doesn't. Is there a way of operating a failsafe environment so that I can be sure each record is saved to disk.
I'm using a lot of forms using lots of action buttons. Clearly I can use Save and Close but I really want to Save and Create New Record and be sure my save is written to disk.
Any thoughts anyone?
thanks
Doug
