Thanks Arnon for your prompt response.
Can you also share your technique to handle any update conflicts? What I mean is, I don't know if it's relevent in your situation but how do you handle a situation where a record contained in an off-line view is changed and when "reconnected" the original record have also been changed since last connection? You would have to "accept" one or none of the changes?
