Subject: updating a field
> Hello there!
>
> I need to update several fields in my form. But once I update a field
> longer than its original length, it goes haywire. What seems to be the
> problem? This is how my code works:
>
> 1) Get the current record.
> 2) Change the fields that I want to update.
> 3) Get the current record length.
> 4) Use DmWrite or StrCopy to update the fields.
>
> Thanks a lot.
