Hello everyone!

I'm new to this discussion group, but I am an old HandyShopper user (and a very satisfied one - great job). 

However, I have just upgraded my PDA from Windows Mobile 6.1 to 6.5.3 and I keep having this problem sometimes: whenever I close the program and reopen it I get a warning telling me the database was not closed properly and it loads what was previously saved. 
This doesn't happen all the time, but it usually happens when I am in the store ready to shop and notice that my list is usually empty. This is not nice (happened 4 times in the last month). 

I am not using a special program to kill applications instead of sending them in the background, but I am ocasionaly rebooting my PDA (other processes make it hang). I know there is a manual save button (that works fine), just that sometimes I forget to click on it while making changes, and this spells disaster.

I would like to ask for a feature request - a user selectable option to enable autosave when a change is done to the database (either an item is checked/unchecked, or something is added or changed). It might lower performance, but it my case it would bring sanity back :)

Is my proposal something feasible, or is there a known workaround for my problem? 

Thanks,
Adrian
