SYMPTOMS
If you search a CEDB database that contains more then 16,000 text records, the CeSeekDatabase function may not return and the target device may seem to stop responding (hang).



CAUSE
This behavior is caused by a known problem in the Windows CE 3.0 database API.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, either ensure that your database does not exceed 16,000 records or use a different database engine such as Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
