Thanks Dennis. Your explanation cleared my mind about PDBs that is generated on a Palm device.
But... My application uses a PDB that is generated on my desktop using the PalmDb.dll. Is PalmDb.dll able to generate other DataType as String, like float, double, boolean, etc? If yes, how can i do this? Thanks! <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escreveu na mensagem news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > I recommend using the "correct data type", as you put it.
