I realize that if the camera does need to be loaded, I've created extra work
for the app. But the app will check for the camera every time, and only load it
about 1/4 of the time. Is the DmFindDatabase call so costly that I'm still
better off loading the library?
I don't think that one call to DmFindDatabase() at the start of your app
would be very noticeable, probably just a handful of milliseconds (you
could check the number of ticks it takes if you are curious -- might be
a really small number). Unless you are making this call numerous times
in the middle of some other loop then I'd be disinclined to worry about
it. Or maybe I missed some earlier chatter about what you were trying
to do. Just my 2c. Bob
