Unfortunately the records are a different format.
I need to delete them.
Cheers though.

If you are just moving records to another db why not use DmDetachRecord and
DmAttachRecord? That way you don't use "double" the memory. I know that
doesn't answer your question of why the DmRemoveRecord call does not seem to
do what it is supposed to, but it is probably the better way to do it.
HTH,
