In current versions of Palm OS, every database on the device must have a unique name. This is the reason that many books and articles provide the advise that you should append your creator ID to the end of your database names, to make sure they are unique. When you show those names to the user, you can remove the ID from the end in your display logic. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Palm OS programming help @ www.palmoswerks.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
