	I've found that if the screen is not filled (no scroll
arrows), you can select the last record. But if the screen is
full and you have to scroll to vue the last record, it is not
selectable. So, I just reorder by another criteria or change
the order type to get it elsewhere :-))))))))))))))))

	Thanks for the quick answers :-)

I don't remember telling you how great the calculated field is.
It's so cool to have a strong scripting language rather than those
weird clicking things where you can't do what you want because
the designer of the prog hasn't just imagined what's in your mind...

	Well, cool I didn't see that parameter.


	Ok. For people who asked a few days ago, even if the stable
release is still 0.3.3d, I didn't come back to it after the last
testing phase and sticked to the 0.3.4beta5 for real life. I got some
strange crashes (without more informations, I really worked :-)
even one where my base disapeared, replaced by an uncategorized
DBOStmp database that I just renamed to the good name without
loosing data. But features are too cool, I cannot wait anymore :-)

I'm definitely getting the last record error, both in the list view, and
when you have a list view selection for a linked table.

Also Beta 5 crashes on exit fairly consistently, and I have dropped back to
3.3 (sorry)

I'm about ready to do the same. I especially miss the
global search, actually the db is pretty worthless for
me with out that feature.

	We need to know what version of Palm OS you are using, otherwise 
finding the bugs you mention can be much harder.  Also any details about 
when or how db fails are extremely important.  If you can cut down the 
time we spend trying to reproduce an error, we have a lot more time to 
spend going about fixing it.  I have taken care of the last record error 
in the list view, and some (I believe all) of the problems with global 
search, but I don't really know any of the details behind the other errors 
you mention.

	Thanks for testing,

	Scott

	Well, I can't reproduce the first one any longer. I think
it was related with the DBDatabase.pdb file : when I changed the
first time from 0.3.3d to 0.3.4 I lost the categories infos. Then
I reinstalled 0.3.3d and a few days after tried the new 0.3.4. I
got the same behaviour but this time I didn't recreate the missing
informations. So I played with a desynchronized (in some way)
DBDatabase.pdb and DB.prc. I got the problem. Now that I have
deleted and recreate the DBDatabase.pdb it seems ok. Can't tell
you more, I keep studying the case :-)

	The second one is not currently reproducible (Don't know
the right word : I can't reproduce it).

	Since yesterday, I played with 0.3.4beta5 without any
problems, using calculated fields in real life databases. Soon
I'll create more bases with ideas I get since some weeks...

	I got just one crash. Palm VX OS 3.5. You ?
