Just a quick note regarding this:

"Yes getlocation(60) seconds worked with sleep timer of 65 seconds. I recon that in the code by canamgroup the (sleep time) < (getlocation) which probably made it go to sleep before it could send an email."
 
I don't understand why?

Unless I'm mistaken, (sleep time) CAN be lower than (getLocation timeout).
I actually think it doesn't matter at all.
 
For what I understand, the getLocation timeout will wait for 60 seconds before throwing an exception. While it's waiting, I don't think the remaining code is executed.
 
In my tests, I have used getLocation(60) combined with a sleep time of 5 seconds... and it has always worked (when the Blackberry was outside).  And I do believe it took more than 5 seconds to obtain GPS coordinates.
 
I'll do some tests... and I'll keep you posted.  Unfortunately, I don't have any "real" Blackberry to test on right now.

I won't worry about doing any tests, I think your comments are correct - the sleep time and the getLocation wait time are not related.

Is that all you get, no errors or anything?

No errors just this.

I am not sure what it could be but I think recently I installed something which updated Java on my PC.

Any advise regarding this.

Thanks in advance

Could be, note the technical requirements listed here:

http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/downloads/jde.jsp

"java -version" from a command prompt, should tell you the default version you have installed.  However, you can set environment variables in bat files etc, so that you can run two different versions of Java on your PC at the same time.

I suggest that you start a separate thread with your problem,  Identify the version of JDE you have and the level of Java.
