Okay, I solved my own problem.

I am using a Pocket PC, and had set the Advanced Properties for my forms,
Security tab, to "Use Backup If Available". But I didn't have a Compact Flash
card in the Pocket PC.

When I changed the setting to "Disable Backup Feature", the TRACE message no
longer appeared. So that's the solution. The PDA must have been looking for
the CF card and sent the error message when it couldn't find it.

I'm still a little confused as to why the TRACE message showed up on some PDAs
but not others, but I suspect it has to do with the versions of Windows Mobile
they are using.

Subject: [pendragon-forms] TRACE error in Pendragon Forms 5.1





Pendragon Forms user friends,

I've had a new problem arise on two of my TDS Recon PDAs since loading Pendragon
Forms 5.1. Upon leaving any record in any form in PF 5.1, we get a TRACE dialog
box error:
"Trace message at:
Unable to create:
00002A08
/PALM/PFDATA. BAK"

What's strange is that this is showing up on only two of seven TDS Recons. Yet
they all have PF 5.1 loaded with the new CAB that you gave me, and they all have
the same forms on them. I do have the "Backup if available" option selected for
most of the forms and no Compact Flash cards inserted yet, but I'm not sure why
this would affect some PDAs differently than the others.

In an initial attempt to solve this problem, I uninstalled all versions of PF
(5.0 and 5.1) and even used Windows Explorer to delete the PF folders. After
reinstalling, the TRACE error still shows up.

Do any of you have any idea what might be happening? Have you experienced
something like this before? If so, I'd really appreciate any help you can
offer.

Thanks,
Dave
