Yes...again, use a debugger. Debuggers let you inspect values in
variables and such.
In other comments:
* You wouldn't happen to be using an old version of Palm OS, are you.
The documentation says to use " " instead of "" for Palm OS 2.0 and
earlier.
* You don't say *which* call to FrmCustomAlert is failing. All of
them? Or just one of them?
* Not all of your code is included. For instance, in "test=s->id",
you don't define "test" anywhere.
* You do hardly any error checking. You don't check for NULL values
or function results.
* Why is "id" a char*, while the other fields are arrays of chars?
You initialize "id" with a pointer to a locked handle. Why not make
it an array of 10 chars? And you store the pointer to the memory
chunk, and then write the record containing that pointer to the
database. What are you doing with the pointer? That points to data
that's not stored in the database? Any time your application quits,
that data will be deleted, leaving your record with a pointer to
now-invalid data. When you next try to access that record, you'll be
accessing invalid data when you use the pointer in the "id" field.
