Hello Eric,
Thanks for the response. We have tried this and it still does not work. We
are even displaying the contents of the buffer into a message box, and it
displays the correct selection. This is what is most frustrating. The
program seems to be extracting the correct name into a CharPtr but
DmFindDatabase does not seem to work????
