Replying to my own post... The beep was from clicking the button on the alert that is displayed just before calling DmDeleteDatabase. Apparently, the DmDeleteDatabase causes the sound to last longer. I imagine DmDeleteDatabase hogs the processor briefly and prevents the sound handling code from executing and whatever frequency is playing on the speaker continues until DmDeleteDatabase ends. This was on a Zire 21. It was only noticeable when deleting databases larger than 1mb. I added a 30 tick delay after the alert and before calling DmDeleteDatabase and that fixes it. Weird, I really thought it was some error or the OS trying to tell me something... -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
