Well, I just can't figure it out. I'm simply writing a record to the
MemoPad database. I got some code from the archives but it just doesn't
seem to work. Attached is my code. It writes the record and it looks okay
when I first bring up MemoPad but then when I attempt to access the record
in the MemoPad application, I receive a "Bad Record" error at statement
1678. I've looked in the MemoPad code and on the Palm knowledgebase but
haven't found any answers or better examples of writing a MemPad record.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
