Even on a real Palm OS device with a SD card slot, you can't create a database on card 1. The card field there refers to something completely different than the external storage cards. It is referring to internal memory cards. The only way to create a database on a HostFS "card" or a SD card is to use calls in the VFS subsystem -- they aren't true Palm databases then, but there are some routines to do DB-like access to them. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
