what are you smoking? FileOpen/FileClose does not create temporary files. this is all part of the File Streaming API. that is, a convenience system for reading/writing to a .pdb file without having to worry about record structures (it stores it as that tho). i have been using this functionality for years, and, it is NOT temporary file stuff. in light of the problem, the original poster emailed me privately - and, the email should probably be here in public for forum archive purposes. === Q: how to get access to the data written using FileOpen POSE: use the export database option in the emulator DEVICE: set backup bit, sync - database will be in backup directory Q: how to read/write the data stored in the .pdb file? use a desktop utility called 'par' http://www.djw.org/product/palm/par/ it will allow you to manipulate file streams directly. === hopefully that will end all discussions on this topic. RTFM guys. dont email me privately - the forums exist for a reason, and, i get enough 'how to i program' type emails a day - i dont need to be flooded with more :) thanks for understanding. --- Aaron Ardiri [EMAIL PROTECTED] CEO - CTO +46 70 656 1143 Mobile Wizardry http://www.mobilewizardry.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
