Actually, I'm having the opposite problem. I found some sample code on the
Dev Zone and I can beam the database (most of the time), but I can't beam
the .prc. Each time I get an unknown format message. Any thoughts anyone?

I'm assuming you're using ExgDBWrite and calling ExgSend from your
ExgDBWriteProc. My guess is that you're beaming a resource database but
specifying a filename ending in ".pdb". This will be received as a resource
database because ExgDBWrite sends over the database header which includes a
flag indicating whether the database is a resource database or a record
database. The extension specified in the ExgSocket is used to determine
which application will accept the object. The launcher registers for ".prc",
".pdb", and ".pqa" extensions. Objects with any of these extensions will be
routed to the launcher. The launcher ignores the ExgSocket header
information when constructing the database because the database name and
type (resource vs. record) are embedded in the data stream.
Hope this helps.
