Hrmm.. i'm not sure on that one. theres no mention it doing that in the sdk reference
manual. But its quite possible.. none the less i'd give it a shot.

Doesn't DmRemoveRecord shift the records up though so all you need to do is
read/delete record 0??

I think your calling DmRemoveRecord wrong, you should call it like this i
believe DmRemoveRecord ( PackedDB, index );

Nope.
recH = DmQueryNextInCategory(PackedDB,&index, dmAllCategories);
if (recH == NULL) {
break;
} // if
recP = MemHandleLock(recH);
currRec = *recP;
NumberArrayRecs = currRec.NumberOfArrayRecs;
MemHandleUnlock(recH);
Error = DmRemoveRecord(PackedDB, 0);
if (Error != 0) {
DebugInt("error on deletion record",index);
}

Is DmRemoveRecord returning an error code?

I am trying to copy a database into another database.
Due to space limitations on a 2MB handheld, I need to delete the original DB
records as I insert them into another database.
I am calling DmRemoveRecord and when I display the number of records in the
DB it is going down as if it was deleting them.
However I run out of memory and when I reset, it shows all the records still
in there.
I have even tried closing and openning the DB after evry 10 records to try
and force the removal of these records.
Does DMRemoveRecord just flag things for deletion?? It say in the manual it
diposes of the chunk.
Help Please!!
