One small difference is in the info for each entry in the database header. For a resource database, each entry has three parts: Type - a 32-bit integer ID - a 16-bit integer Data - a handle to a movable chunk For a record database, each entry has these parts: Attribute - an 8-bit integer UniqueID - a 24-bit integer Data - a handle to a movable chunk So, the record headers for resource databases appear to require 16 more bytes. Just this morning, Jim Schram posted a link (http://oasis.palm.com/dev/kb/papers/2029.cfm) to a paper that contains this info, plus more interesting details about "Palm OS� Memory and Database Management". __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
