I don't know which docs you are looking at (kType?), but the 4th parameter to DmCreateDatabase() is a UInt32 which holds the database type. You can use any four 7-bit Ascii chars to create the type, just like you do with a creator id. For example, in CodeWarrior, you could use 'DATA' to represent the 32 bit type since it recognizes that as a 32 bit character constant. In some development environments, you would have to translate that to 0x44415441 yourself. > What is a resource database? A Palm database that isn't a record database (.pdb). A resource database (.prc) contains resources -- stuff like bitmaps, forms, string lists, etc. Note that Palm apps are resource databases. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
