I know it is possible to register an app for incomming sms messages, but is it at all possible to trap for outgoing messages? Is it just me, or are the later SDK documentation so much harder to read and figure out? Thanks for the help Roel -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer

VFS database question

I want to work with a database stored on a memory card. the VFS API functions don't have the same functions as the DM functions.. Such as Create new record and sort records etc. What is the easiest way to create a new record and sort it in the right place in a database stored on a memory card?

LifeDrive Cache question

As i understand it, the LifeDrive has a 10Mb caching system. Does this mean that its limited to run apps smaller then 10 mb only? The amount of time required to copy an application to memory would the obviously make the device very slow. Is my assumption correct? If so, is there a way around

Thanks Ben, I'll try that. I'm using VFSFileDBGetRecord to access the records from the database on a memory card.. Is that still valid then on NVFS devices? I do a MemHandle free after VFSDBGetRecord there also. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please
