| What version of Windows Mobile are you using? I believe you need to
provision your device (using DMProcessConfigXML).
Try this msdn entry:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...eRapiInvoke.asp
toward the bottom it will explain how to enable and disable RAPI calls for a
DLL

| You will need to provision the device to enable RAPI access to the database
of your choice. While the article mentioned below is about CeRapiInvoke
security, it does not cover database security provisioning. It is also
important to ensure that you are able to provide a solution to your
customers that enables them to provision their device. I am emphasizing on
this point because in some instances, Operators could decide to block such
provisioning.

| Thank you for your answers.
Ok, I have to write something like this:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Metabase">
<characteristic type="RAPI\full_path_to_dll">
<parm name="rw-access" value="3"/>
<parm name="access-role" value="152"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
Which DLL I have to use here in order to allow CeOpenDatabase() to do its
work? CeOpenDatabase() is implemented in rapi.lib(!) (exposed in rapi.h) but
MSDN does not say in which DLL it is...
rapisrv.exe, cedb.dll, ....?

| What can I do in order to cover database security provisioning?
I used DMProcessConfigXML and
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="BrowserFavorite">
<characteristic type="MSN Search">
<parm name="URL" value="http://search.msn.com"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
as sample which works fine.
Which XML should I use for database security provisioning?
Thanks in advance, hfr
