Correct me if I'm wrong, At least for the type of records that we've been using etc. In some cases, combining is not an option due to the fact that for every sub-record, that record is limited to a division of 65k? (because no record can be larger than 65k.)
Is this correct? Also - I also assume that hotsync times are only if records are being modified, we use on the average of 55K records per database and have rather short hotsync times, but our records within the database are for viewing only, and we update the entire pdb per update (yearly). So when people say that the number of records will affect hotsyncing, is that in regards to building the pdb during the hotsync? (since in our case we just hotsync the entire pdb..?) thanks - bill "Ben Combee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:102057@palm-dev-forum... > > At 17:14 2002-11-21 +0100, you wrote: > > i need to store 30000 records in a pdb.
