Here is another question from a novice Palm programmer:

My program collects data from a serial port and saves it to a database.  I can 
browse the data using database functions while the program is running, and if I 
exit and restart the application, the original data is still there (if I don't 
choose to delete it).  Also, if I look at the application info, I can see the 
number of records, so the data is clearly stored, but it is associated with my 
application (i.e. I don't have a separate 'file' that when I do HotSync would 
become a pdb, which then I can convert with a Desktop program)

Is this a setting of the database when it is created?  I read the documentation 
on the database functions, but could not figure it out.

Another option I have considered is to transfer the data to the Documents to Go 
on the Palm (which comes with Palm TX).  This would allow the user to inspect 
the data before transfering to the desktop.  However, since this is a third 
party software, I could not find any info on how to call it (would it be 
Exchange Manager - How?) or any documentation on how to pass data to it. (I 
figure the DataViz folks in this group may be able to answer this one)

Thanks
