You can do that easily using Exchange Manager by the system. A few imp things that you must take care of ... 1. Your code that would get called when any data is received over the IR link should be in the first segment. 2. When you say you wanna "add" to a db, I assume you wanna do that blindly - without bothering if a record is already present in the recipients db or no. You have to do it yourself - Exchange manager wont do it for you. :-) 3. It would help to log data so that your debugging sessions become easy. Just ensure that you dont do any lengthy computations in loggin routines. Treat them like ISRs... :-) 4. Lastly if you wanna do beaming between different devices ( like Palm to PPC, Palm to nokia etc ) , using "irlib" would be a better choice. I am sure since you only wanna deal with .pdb, you dont wanna entertain this suggestion even for a moment.
