I got it Just had to first convert the sizeof to a Uint16

Basically it crashes once I get it to compile. I really could use an example of one that was done properly, because Im a little lost here :( //I tried to set the preference with this PrefSetAppPreferences('mine', PrefDay, 0x01, dtStartDate.day, sizeof(dtStartDate.day), true); //on program entry I tried to read the preference like this if (PrefOpenPreferenceDB(false)) //this causes a problem later on in the program { day = 1; // PrefGetAppPreferences('mine', PrefDay, day, sizeof(day), true); } -----Original Message----- From: Tim Kostka [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 11:34 AM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Re: storing date for future use Have you tried storing it in preferences or a database yet? It's hard to define a "best" way as both work quite well. You may find preferences to be easier. -- Tim Kostka http://www.nuprograms.com "Ornstein, Adam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > What is the best way to store a dateType variable in memory so that I can > access it the next time the program is run?
