*****************************************************************
// Some literal strings for the fields:

_LIT(KForenameLabel,"Forename");
_LIT(KSurnameLabel,"Surname");
_LIT(KWorkPhoneLabel,"Work Phone");
_LIT(KForename,"Satya");
_LIT(KOtherForename,"Naresh");
_LIT(KSurname,"Vattikuti");

// Open the default contacts database:
CContactDatabase* contactsDb = CContactDatabase::OpenL();
CleanupStack::PushL(contactsDb);

// Create a contact card and add some fields:
CContactItem* contact = CContactCard::NewLC();
CContactItemField* field = CContactItemField::NewLC(KStorageTypeText,

KUidContactFieldFamilyName);
field->SetMapping(KUidContactFieldVCardMapUnusedN);
field->SetLabelL(KSurnameLabel);
field->TextStorage()->SetTextL(KSurname);
contact->AddFieldL(*field);
CleanupStack::Pop();


field = CContactItemField::NewLC(KStorageTypeText, KUidContactFieldGivenName);
field->SetMapping(KUidContactFieldVCardMapUnusedN);
field->SetLabelL(KForenameLabel);

// Add the new contact to the database and set it as the own card:
contactsDb->AddNewContactL(*contact);
contactsDb->SetOwnCardL(*contact);

CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(2); // contact contactsDb
*****************************************************************
the code was running on emulator, sdk is 3.0.
error is -23 KErrWrite, which means "During a file write operation, not all the data could be written."

Hi,
Have you checked with the capability of your application I guess you will need ReadUserData and WriteUserData to perform such operations.

Just for completeness: such code can be executed in the emulator, and it has a logfile: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Epocwind.out
The logfile contains warnings about missing capabilities, that way you could have found these two.
