what are pdb files? as ive never heard of that extension.
for .doc, excel and .ppt files, Docstogo is needed.
For .pdf, premium (paid for) docstogo is needed, or another .pdf app (all i believe are paid for apps)

Some .pdb files are Palm database files.

I wonder if he is trying to read those?

You can open .doc, . xls, and .pdf with the native viewer. It sounds as if the OP is missing the attachment service.

If so, he will need to install it via the device OS.

Yes the earlier poster is right. .PDB files are palm database files and most of them come with the .PRC files which are the palm based applications. For example if you were buying a palm based software it would come with 2 files sometimes. The .prc which is the main app, and the .pdb which has some info databases which the app uses during its working.

Hi,

But before you give up look for some extractors / convertors which can maybe convert to .pdf or maybe some format which that BB might accept. You never know what ull find these days. I found some wierd programs that take .jad files then download and convert OTA files and theres a load of such tools out there. You might get lucky. But im just speculating.
