The examples in Palm Programming use MemHandleResize only in Packing functions.
Are you suggesting using both DmResizeRecord and MemHandleResize when Packing to
a database?

That's got to be it! Her pack routine is calling MemHandleResize()
and it needs to be working through Dm API, not the Mem API!
