If File.Exists(File.DirInternal, "gulf.db") = False Then
ProgressDialogShow("New User Found, Importing Data, Please Wait........")
Sql2.Initialize(File.DirInternal, "gulf.db", True)
'and create it

Hey Juzer,
IF :
If File.Exists(File.DirInternal, "gulf.db") = False

That's mean that NOT exists "gulf.db" and you CAN'T "Sql2.Initialize(File.DirInternal, "gulf.db", True)" because "gulf.db" does not exists.

I "figure" what you want to do... You can try:
- Include in your project a "gulf.jpg"
- If File.Exists(File.DirInternal, "gulf.db") = False THEN Copy "gulf.jpg" to "gulf.db"

Regards,

Edgar

Sql2.Initialize(File.DirInternal, "gulf.db", True)

Does not the paramater "True" mean .. create database file if it does not exist .. ?

Include in your project a "gulf.jpg"
- If File.Exists(File.DirInternal, "gulf.db") = False THEN Copy "gulf.jpg" to "gulf.db"

Why .jpg .. ? Why not include gulf.db and then copy to Dir.Internal if not exists ..?

Hi edgar_ortiz and mango jack,

Thanks for your replies.It seems like the db is getting created but the data is not downloading.Can you think of any reason.

It shows "New user found......" waits for few seconds but does not copy data from server.
DB is empty.
It is downloading data in emulator.Is there any consideration in mobile Device like permission to be set etc.

Pls guide me.

upload a small project which shows the problem. I´m sure the problem is in your code.

Its ok now. Actually HttpJob takes time finishing and while it is still running program execution moves to next statement.Later when HttpJob has finished code will execute again from next statement onwards.I removed functions which called HttpJob(DownLoadData) and put them sequentially in main function it solved the problem.
