thats not what the docs say:
Returns DmOpenRef to open database. May display a fatal error message if
the database parameter is NULL. On all other errors, this function
returns 0 and DmGetLastErr returns an error code indicating the
reason for failure.
then again, it has been proven many times that the docs are faulty *g*
