Actually I wasn't using DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator. I was using:
if (!(DatebookDB = DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator(DatebookDBType,
DatebookAppID, mode | dmModeReadOnly))) return false;
So I just changed it to:
if ((DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(true, &searchInfo, DatebookDBType,
DatebookAppID, true, &cardNo, &dbID) == 0) &&
!(DatebookDB = DmOpenDatabase(cardNo, dbID, mode | dmModeReadOnly)))
return false;
It is definitely faster. With the 4 files I open it is about 1/4 second
faster overall. Many thanks! I guess it is because it doesn't have to worry
about getting the latest version of the file.
