Hi,

Our app has a backup function which copies DBs to the SD card.  This is used when 
roadwarriors lose their customer or product DBs.  For completeness I've been also 
backing up the main Palm DBs (Datebook, ToDos, Memos, etc).

On the T3 these PIMs have been replaced (sort of) with new versions and DBs but the 
doco (what little there is) indicates that the old DBs still exist (sort of - as in as 
some kind of write through pseudo DB) to support legacy apps.  All seems to mostly 
work but we are seeing some nasty crashes on T3s when recovering DatebookDB from SD 
back to the Palm (using standard VFS calls).

This does not seem to happen all the time - don't you just love that.

I've not been able to locate layouts for the new databases. But could probably just 
work out if the app is on a T3 and back up only the new DB (Calendar) if that is all I 
need to do.  Sadly, some other datebook related things are not all that happy.

Our app does write to the Datebook and stores the RID of the Datebook entry so we can 
allow the user to manage our entries directly through the standard app.  This now sort 
of works but not entirely - once again I suspect this has something to do with how the 
T3 interfaces to the old datebook format.

So, any ideas where I can find some more info on what is going on here? I've looked in 
the palmone area.

thanks
Andrew Waites
