Monika,

The name of the file on the device is the "name" parameter not the
"filname.pdb" parameter.  "filename.pdb" is the name of the file on the PC
only.

Do not append a ".pdb" on to the file name you are trying to open (unless of
course that the "name" you passed to PAR included a ".pdb" extension).

You also mentioned "I have passed in a path and filename" but must remember
that the internal storage of the Palm does not use a file system and has no
concept of "path".  You need to specify a path when working with files on
VFS storage, but not when working with internal storage.
