G glook Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 5, 2010 #1 I'm probably going to feel really stupid asking this, but -- Q1. How can I open a file on the SD card? I have a file in a directory on the emulator's SD card - /sdcard/pbdb/PB.dpbm In this case it is a database file, so try to open it : Code: con.Initialize(File.DirRootExternal, "pbdb/PB.dpbm",False) I also tried "DirDefaultExternal" and adding "/sdcard/" to the path, but it always fails to open. (I checked it is really there and correct name). It also fails if I try to create a new test file (on sdcard). Q2. How do I copy an existing file to the "DirInternal" ? Where does it go? I created a new test DB file that works, but I can't see it anywhere. I thought it would be under the /data directory, but it appears empty. Geoff.

Click to expand... I did try something like that. But while running from emulator, I am not sure which folder on my Windows PC acts as the internal storage of the emulator. Upvote 0
