You didn't mention that you tried this, so I'll suggest it. Create a buffer
on the stack and copy the list selection into it and see what happens. If it
works, you'll know the problem is with your list selection buffer and you'll
have a fix. PseudoCode
Err OpenDB( CharPtr file )
{
// file is the pointer from the list selection
Char buf[ maxDBNameSize ]; // I know that's not the right define
LocalID dmId;
Err err = 0;
// If this doesn't work, you've got a problem with your pointer
// from the list
StrCopy( buf, file );
dmID = DmFindDatabase( 0, buf );
if ( !dmId )
return DmGetLastError();
// Open the database
return err;
}
BTW, a Grep for 519 in all PalmOS header files didn't turn up anything.
