Hey guys,

I was after your advice please.

I am transfering data from PPC to the desktop... I need to set up some sort
of conflict resolution in instances where the data has been edited on both
PPC and desktop... at the moment i am just taking to desktop values... but i
could set up a timestamp and take the newest record.... or i could prompt
the user for a response (which is the optimal choice) the only problem with
that is the data isnt in a context that the user could understand...

I would love your thoughts on this!

Thanks guys
Nathan
 
However you define the synchronisation rules, make them as simple as
possible. If you choose to prompt the user on conflicts try to show
both data records thus providing as much context information as
possible. Maybe it's also feasible to store both records at a special
"conflicts" folder for later consideration by someone who has enough
context info.
