I have taken the calls to my classes out but I am still having problems with
the recordNum variable.
If I do not use it anywhere in the function it gets initialized to 0, but as
soon as I try to set it equal to findParams->recordNum, its value becomes
65535.
Can someone give me some source code using multiple databases or give me a
clue as to what is happening here?
Thanks
