Is it possible to read data from the record store of another MIDlet. The midlet that created the record store uses

recordStore = RecordStore.openRecordStore( "rsStore", true, RecordStore.AUTHMODE_ANY, true );

 and the midlet that is trying to read the record store uses

recordStore = RecordStore.openRecordStore( "rsStore", "Vendor", "MIDletName" );

The RecordStore api says that you can do this but from searching the old forum there is word that yo can't. Can blackberry confirm this and also provide a workaround

Applications in the same MIDlet suite are able to share data within a RecordStore. 

An alternative approach is to use the BlackBerry RuntimeStore.  This allows data to be shared with any application.
