	Hi, When i push an upgrade of my midlet to the device it clears the Record store Whats the reson for that?can it be fixed? Thanks

If an application is recompiled, it will not be able to access its existing RMS data stores. Because of the recompilation, the application is not considered to be the same as the previous version and will not be allowed access to the RMS data stores on the simulator. This feature is part of the persistent data access security architecture.

If that is the case for MIDlets, then that is different behaviour than for RIMlets (Application, UIApplication, etc.). You can definately re-compile them and install them and read the RMS data. If you uninstall first it may delete the RMS data but installing the new version on top should persist the data in RMS from the previous version and allow the newly installed version to access it.

Update to my previous post:

The RMS RecordStore should remain when an application is upgraded. 

A BlackBerry handheld considers an update to be when you download an application which has the same MIDlet-Name and MIDlet-Vendor attributes and a different MIDlet-Version attribute of a MIDlet already on the device.
