Thanks,
I'm sure the list will be very helpful with future problems. But the error
was 519 which according the err list is dmErrCantFind...... This does not
seem right. If we hard code the db name, it is found with no problems. If we
use a CharPtr that was retrieved from the list, it does not find it??? Am I
wrong? Does DmFindDatabase(Cardnumber, CharPtr) want something besides a
CharPtr?
Again, any help would be a life saver. I have hit a brick wall here.
Alex
