To make sure your prc file is backed, you need to set the backup flag of the PRC. If you're using CW, you can set that in the preferences panel. If you want, you can of course do it in your code (see below)... Regarding the PDB files you create, you need to set the same flag during runtime... it should look something like this: DmOpenDatabaseInfo(dbP, &dbID, NULL, NULL, &cardNo, NULL); DmDatabaseInfo(cardNo, dbID, NULL, &dbAttrs, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); dbAttrs = dbAttrs | dmHdrAttrBackup; DmSetDatabaseInfo(cardNo, dbID, NULL, &dbAttrs, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); Regards, Ramel Levin CTO The PalmMate Team Gotta a Palm?
