This is a snippet of the code. I'm not sure the problem is here. I think
it might be with the pdb files I created as my pdb browser didn't find them
either.
DmSearchStateType searchState;
Int16 count = 0;
UInt16 cardNo;
LocalID dbID;
Err err = DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(true, &searchState, 's28', 'PCZF',
false, &cardNo, &dbID);
while (err == errNone && dbID)
{
// Do stuff with database
err = DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(false, &searchState, 's28',
'PCZF', false, &cardNo, &dbID);
}

Please respond to "Palm Developer
Forum"
just a few random thoughts.
DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator takes a "search state" parameter, which it
uses to record the state of its search and hence implement the "next" part
of its name. Of course, it needs to know when it is starting the search,
so
it also takes a "new Search" parameter. Two possible sources of error:
#1. Always call it with "new Search" true -- it will never find more than
the first database it stumbles onto.
#2. Do not preserve the "search state" structure in between calls. It can
get real confused then...
Of course, these are beyond the obvious ones of giving it the wrong type
and/or creator (like byte-reversing the values).

Does anyone know what would cause DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator() to not
find any databases when I know that more than one database of the searched
type and creator ID are installed?
I tried installing an application called PDBBrowse (you can view PDB files
on your Palm using it), but when it scans for all databases, it doesn't
display the pdb files I created. When I use DmFindDatabase() it finds
whichever database I asked for. Could I have done something wrong when
creating the pdb files, even though HotSync didn't compain?
