I appreciate the suggestion but my application is NOT meetings, nor business cards. I didn't want to confuse anyone with my unique application, rather get the gist of why I want to send one record at a time.
thanks tho, ~Tony >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/17/04 11:14AM >>> Hi, I would recommend using Vcal for meetings and Vcard for addresses. These Formats are widely accepted by Outlook, Mobile Phones,... . You can find the specifications online!

I'll explain the example as a calendar program to simplify everything. Say one user sets a date and time in a calendar program for a meeting. his data is stored in a record and he wants to invite others to this meeting. He can email the record to his friends who in turn, load into their palms. This sets the meeting up in their calender program (same application). Right now, I store each "appointment/meeting" as a record in 1 database. the problem is that I don't wanna email the entire database to my friends cuz then it would do 2 things, first it would send over ALL of my meetings even if they don't apply to them. Second, it wold over write all of their data cuz the database would be the same name. The only solution I can see is to create a function that copies the record to an entire new database, and then send that new database to the user. Then in their app, it wold look for any database with the same creatorID. Is there any other way to accomplish this w/o creating new databases? > > thanks, > > ~Tony > > Why don't you just send the data contained in the record in some interchangable format, for example XML, and create a function that parses the recieved information and creates a new record in an existing database on the receiving device? Obviously this is less pheasible if you have binary data that you wish to transfer but should be doable for that as well. - Veronica Loell -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
