Rusty Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 21, 2011 #1 My app accumulates information from the user. I would like to store the data into an SQLite database. Creating and writing to the database, I've got done. Where will the data reside in the device. (It is in the Files folder) In order to open the database, I have to copy it from dirassets to dirdefaultexternal. Can I copy the file back once updated? What creates permanent new storage and where will I find it on the device? thanks,

You can use other internal folders: File.DirInternalCache or File.DirInternal. Write: Msgbox(File.DirInternal, "") to find the exact path. Upvote 0

Rusty Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 21, 2011 #3 Thanks, Erel. Is there a description of the differences between DirInternal, DirAssets, DirdefaultExternal, etc? I'm trying to store response information from the user in persistent storage that I can later transfer via FTP or other means. Upvote 0
