If I understand you right, what you want to do is create a "canned" pdb file that you can distribute to users of your application, who will then hotsync it? That's "easy". I did that recently for an application that's using rarely changing view-only data derived from a big corporate database. Instead of giving people a conduit that they have to install (and me having the hassle of supporting it), I just distribute the pdb file, and update it every once in a while. Writing a conduit was easier than writing a pdb file generator as I didn't have to learn the format of pdb files. And the conduit could be less-than-production-quality as I didn't plan on distributing it. > Is there a recommended book or white paper. > I read the programmers companion 1. You will need to download the CDK (Conduit Development Kit) from the PalmSource website. It comes with plenty of documentation on how to write conduits using a variety of programming languages and technologies. conduit-dev-forum is the mailing list where you can get more help when you run into specific problems.
