Hi Guys, from doing research, it appears that Forward locking is handled by a server when sending something to a handset, is this correct? if so, am I to understand that you can not forward lock content that you load on to a media card (Solid state memory). For example, lets presume I had a deal with a movie company (this is purely hypothetical) and they wanted to release media cards with images and vid clips of an upcoming movie. Is there a way after I would have loaded this content onto a media card that we could then make sure this information could not be sent via MMS, the images would more be the problem, no one would want to sent a 7 or 8 meg vid file over gprs/wap/mms but images are small enough to make it feasable. I need to make sure that this would not be a possibility for a similar idea im working on. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Dan Donoghue | |||

Hi Dan, When you receive content with the forward-lock attribute set via either MMS or WAP, you are allowed to save it. But the saved copy of the object has a forward-lock attribute set on it. The device has to respect the forward-lock attribute. So it would have to be implemented as part of the file system on the device. I'm not really sure how this works with media cards, but I would expect that this would have to be implemented as part of the file system on the device. -bn | |||
