I have named the device (device ID) as "kdss_d1".
In the database the device ID is saved as :
"006F0050-0063-006B-0065-4850495041513231305F323433333700".
How to get it back as "kdss_d1". I read the help but could not (might have missed) find exact function to do the same. Using Asc(hw.GetDeviceID) returns the device ID as "48".

Please suggest me.

48 is the ASC value of 0, the first letter of your ID, you cant get the ASC value of a string.

Try msgbox(hw.GetDeviceID)

Edit: Ok, that doesn't work, just returns the string of numbers.

The last segment of that string is the hex for "HPIPAQ210_24337". See the attached program. If you use this watch out for the zero character (00) at the end of the returned string which may be there as a string terminator.

If you named the device in "About" that name is in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident\Name

How the device name in "About" could be saved in SQLite database using Basic4PPC ?

Since the same application will be used for more than 10 PDAs, so different device name will be there. How to pick out the different “REG_SZ” values ?
Like:
path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident\Name"
device_ID = reg.GetValue(PATH, REG_SZ)

or like :
device_ID = reg.GetValue(PATH, &REG_SZ)

off course I have to initialize like:

Sub App_Start
reg.New1
reg.RootKey(reg.rtLocalMachine)
End sub


regards.

Firstly your example fails, Variable j is assigned bla bla but not used
comment this line out 'j=i
It works.

I added an Hardware object, hw
and
ID=hw.GetDeviceID

The message box shows "" , nothing

Don't waste time looking into it.
I'm just pointing it out :sign0188:
