The question is how do I handle the 2 types of

and one for the records associated with that person? I am new to Palm
programming and haven't run across any examples yet that show this type of
data structure.
What should decide this is how the records relate to each other. If there will be only one date-weight record for each person, then you should combine it into 1 record. If there may be several date-weight records for each person, then you definitely want 2 databases.

It sounds like you might want the second case. It's possible to mix different kinds of records into a single database but it's a lot of added complexity for virtually zero benefit.
