Believe me or not, the error goes away after I declared the variable in a
separate line, e.g.
Char * fieldP;
Char * recordP;

Elizabeth,
fieldP is declared as a char. The way you have it now is that fieldP is an
actual char
not a pointer (which is what MemHandleLock() returns).
Try:
Char * recordP, *fieldP;
