Hi there,

You mean you view it on the Palm? How do you view the records? And the whole pbd 
disappears so you
can't view it again? If you want to view it, then you have to install it again?

No, you don't need to use File stream API. I only use File stream API when I need a 
big buffer ...
The PDB file that you create on PC and you install it in the Palm is the database on 
the Palm. 

PRC file is the PC format of the application on the Palm (resource database)
PDB file is the PC format of the database on the Palm (record databse)

You can use the data manager to access the database (or the pdb file that you install 
to the
Palm). You create the pdb, so you know the dbname, creatorID, dbtype, you can open, 
read, write,
delete records and close it at the end. On the emulator, "Export database" menu allows 
you to put
the database on the PC (will show up as pbd file) that you can view on the PC to see 
what you do
with it.
