Thanks to Dan and Pavel for indicating that it was with the original toolset. While I did not find that specific file your advice prompted me (what felt like for the fifth time!) to reload the environment. For some unexplicable reason (operator error)the application will at least start but bumps out on a fatal bmpdensity error. Is the Tungsten E Simulator, from your experience, a viable platform to develop off of? I have noticed several email postings indicating that there seems to be a problem with it. Did I miss something in setting it up or are there certain coding aspects you handle different for the simulator than the handheld? I mean, the sample midlet worked onthe actual handheld but does not on the simulator. Thanks again for the pointers!
