I've set my Pref to Beam Receive Off.

Everytime I beam anything to another pda I get an ANNOYING dialogue asking if I would like to turn Beam Receive On.

Is it possible to prevent this?

No - unless you turn Beam Receive ON, which wastes power.

actually, there are quite a few hacks out there that stop the annoying message. The one I use currently is Beam Recieve Toggle, which also allows you to toggle the beam recieve on or off with a penstroke or tap in a certain spot.

You will still get the message after you beam out if you had Beam Receive toggled OFF. It would be a pain to remember to toggle ON before beaming, then toggle OFF after you are done.

no, Beam Recieve Toggle both gives you the penstroke and suppresses the alert. There are other hacks that I have used that just suppress the alert, but I like this one, since it combines the features.
