ahh... i see what you are doing... you are passing the pointer to the

think about that and how to do it in my app... right now i'm only

again... some thought and meditation is necessary ;)
Not much thought required -- a pointer to the record is 4 bytes, no matter how
large the record is.
yep! i realized this when i was going back thru the code cleaning it up and
letting the other side of my brain wander about in its own world ;)
In fact, it's probably faster than what you're doing, and more flexible.
i was sending the pointer to field's contents ;)
[time passes]
well, i thought i was... my KeyOf routine does a cast using
PTLERec(Item)^.catnbr
but my (TLE) compare is apparently only sending the pointer to the catnbr string
because the cast there is simply
PString(Key1)^
and
PString(Key2)^
the only place i understand that my (TTLEColl) compare is in play is in
If NOT Search(KeyOf(Item), I) OR Duplicates Then // Item valid
from the TTLEColl.Insert routine override that i posted previously... that
Insert routine is taking a pointer to an entire record...
so now i'm a bit confused but it has been a long day... again... :/
