Well, I rewrote it to detach/attach most things and clone the rest, so the delete is now real and works better in such cases. So DmDeleteDatabase does a delete on a mostly emptied database, but the backup is a complete (AFAIK) image of the original. If anyone tested the original version, you need to disable the hack to replace it. (I still need a list of databases not to back up for temporaries and to copy the zboxz UI elements as appropriate - multiple selecitons with functions, but for now the core technology works, or I think it does, hence the posts here). -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
