I saw no replies that adequately answered this.
I have run across the exact same problem. I was looking at some doc files,
and it seems they do the same thing--their creator ID and Type are always
the same ('REAd' and 'TEXt'). If I have two doc files and put them on a
Palm, calls to DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator() only finds one database.
In the "Info" screen on the Palm, I see one database, but the record count
matches the total of the two doc files loaded.
So are the two pdb files with the same creator/type somehow getting
concatenated on the Palm? What is the party line for how databases
with the same creator id/type, but different names are handled?
thanks in advance
