Elia,
You can use the same API routines to open multiple data bases within your
program. If your databases have the same creator ID and Type, use
DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator. Make the first call with newSerach parm as
true and subsequent calls with it as false. You may want to give them
different Types so you can open them directly. Note: the card number will
always be zero (for now).
Multiple DBs are easy if you know the creatorID and type and/or the DB name
(which must be unique for all DB's on the device) My current app uses two
different Types and the same creatorID to manage numerous databases at the
same time. If you need some examples, you can email me directly
Hope it helps
Dave
