Thanx for this help Fox,
Could you add to the reading part a bit though?
For example, What kind of pointer should I be using to get to the strings.
I need to first get past my struct which is at the beginning of the record
to get to my strings.
I tried:
MemPtr RecP;
MemHandle RecH
RecP = MemHandleLock(RecH);
// attempt to get pointer to beginning of strings.
RecP += (sizeof(MyRecType) + 1);
I also tried casting the pointer to a char* like:
RecP = (char*) MemHandleLock(RecH);
But this gives me an "illegal type" error.
Any suggestions?
Thanx a bunch..
Jim
