What I am trying to clarify, is how that affects the way I build the Palm records. I am deducing from your response that Palm Record Number one will now have an offset of (8*numRecords+ 80+sizeOf(appInfo structure)) i.e. First Palm record is now "pushed forward" by the size of the appInfo struc. Is that correct? I saw nothing in the file format descriptions that I could find that definitively placed the appInfo struct immediately following the Header and Records info. Clive Clive Walden Walden Consulting Phone: 760-632-5856 Web site: www.clivewalden.com That is correct. The record data chunks will move down by the size of the appInfoBlock chunk. The relative positioning is given in the diagram (Database Storage Format, Fig. 1.1) near the start of the doc. ie, DB header, record headers, optional appInfoBlock, optional sortInfoBlock, record data chunks. Probably best to look at examples that other have pointed to or - if possible - use an available tool to generate your PDB.
