Thanks. I have a new question I am getting the
following error
Error : function call 'DmSet(void *, unsigned long,
unsigned long)' does not match
'DmSet(void *, unsigned long, unsigned long, unsigned
char)'
Starter.cpp line 249 DmSet( rec, sizeof( *rec ), 0
);
Heres my code;
{
DmOpenRef dbRef;
dbRef = OpenRecordDatabase(DBNAME, CREATORID,
DBTYPE);
UInt16 at = dmMaxRecordIndex;
MemHandle h = DmNewRecord( dbRef, &at, sizeof(
MyRecord ) );
MyRecord *rec = (MyRecord *) MemHandleLock( h );
DmSet( rec, sizeof( *rec ), 0 );
MemHandleUnlock( h );
DmReleaseRecord( dbRef, at, true );
}
