(or database) and set from the index of the loop that wrote the records to the file/pdb. For less than 256 records the system worked fine, when 270 records were tried, 14 records disappeared. Since the ID's WERE unique within the file, I have to conclude that there is *some* global component to the UniqueID's, but that it is not absolutely global or else we would have seen (and solved) this problem much earlier.
The "File_Format_Specs.pdf" says to set the uniqueID to 0 for -PQA- files, but says nothing about PDB (or PRC) files. -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
