Richard,
You need to use DmWrite() to write to your database. The memory returned by
DmNewHandle() is write protected and can only be written to using DmWrite()
or DmSet() (and a few others).
Your code should do something like this ..
DmWrite(recP, 0, &newEntry, sizeof(newEntry));
Also do you really mean ..
> &recP->DriverLogRec.ind = &newEntry.ind;
You should get a compile error or warning from this, Im sure.
You also should set the indexOfInsert variable to the record index you wish
to insert at or dmMaxRecordIndex to append to the end.
Cheers
