There are a couple of ways to do this... a) Write your own app that is multi-database aware. Create the app on the device. HotSync, pull that database (pdb) out of the backup folder and you have a database(pdb) to distribute. If you're publishing a read only application, you'll probably have a read/write version for yourself.
b) Search the net, there are tools out there to create Palm Databases (pdb's) on the desktop. You should spend sometime with the Palm Docs too. What makes a database unique is it's name and type/creator combination. Your application will find it's database by type and creator code (which you define, and that needs to be registered). Once you know the format of the database (since you defined it) you can create them a few different ways. -- Matt Disher [EMAIL PROTECTED] > From: Todd Cary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Sun, 12 May 2002 18:42:04 -0700 > To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Updating a DB > > Joe - > > Brian Smith also answered this with some other points of view.
