the data is changing but i'm suspecting that i need to be doing
something more because with the above line in place, i'm getting a lot
of errors like the following... i suspect the problem is that the data
being replaced is a different length that the replacement data?? if i
comment out the above line, my program runs with no errors at all...
What is satname? A pointer to a ShortString or a pointer to a AnsiString? Did
some other part of your code catch (and cache ^^) a reference to that string?
ummm... the record that contains satname has satname as a type pstring...
i did try converting asatname to pstring but then ran into all kinds of stuff
that had to be altered and then everything fell apart even worse so i backed out
of that...
as i've written before, pointer stuff is very alien to me... i'm extremely used
to working with the old style 64k limitations and where strings were simply
pascal strings :?
i can post code if needed but i'm not sure what really need to break down into
small bits for posting :?
there are times that i truly hate not being "college educated" in this stuff but
i've been at it for 30+ years and it would be a hard row to how at this point in
time to try to go back and learn it all again... but i am, kinda on that road as
it is... one of these days i *will* grok it... hopefully sooner than later ;)
should i post (again) the type structures?
