Just wondering if someone could clear this up for me. I want to check the size of my database, to limit it to a certain size, so when I call DmDatabaseSize and get back the 'totalBytesP,' field I want to compare this against my defined MaxSize. So I take the size of the new record, I'm about to add to the db, add it to the return value of 'totalBytesP' and compare it to my MaxSize. My question is should I be adding 8 bytes for the record list's heaader. In the documentation at http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/docs/fileformats/Intro.html it states: "The Palm database header ends with a record list. The record list has its own header,..." Now does 'totalBytesP' include this 8 bytes or should I be adding it to my comparison value, as mentioned above, to get the total size of my 'to be' updated database? My first assumption is no.
Any other thougths? Thanks Carl -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
