It seems that you have this Palm database thing all confused. The Palm database system has nothing to do with the standard database of Access or the like, other than it is a collection of records. The PdbTools you are using, I believe is meant for the db program, which is a free database program for the Palm. There are also commercial database programs available for the Palm (JFile for example). If that is good enough for you, just use that, and you don't have to program at all, just set up your database format. If you want to custom create a program, then you will have to custom create the database format, and use a Desktop Palm Database Creator tool like PRC or the like. Also you should note that every record in the Palm Database wastes around 18 bytes, so that is another reason to limit the number of records. In any case it may be better using a Resource type database, and using one Resource type for Words and index, and another for definitions. You might have to write some scripts on your desktop to create the files. LionScribe
