Why doesn't this code change the current Network service?

[Kevin OKeefe]

- Palm OS 3.5 SDK on a Palm OS 4.0 device.
- Assume that FindServiceRecord does indeed return the record number for the
searched for service.
- SetActiveService Comes from the (problematic) NetServiceAPI.

{
        DmOpenRef dbID;
        UInt16  recordNum = 0;
        UInt32 currentRecordID;
        Err err = 0;
        
        //open the database
        dbID = DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator(NetworkPanelDBType,
sysFileCNetworkPanel,
                                         dmModeReadWrite |
dmModeShowSecret);
        if (!dbID)
        {
                err = 1;
        }
        else
        {
                //Find the given service by name
                recordNum = FindServiceRecord(dbID, pszService);
        }
        
        //check for error and exit if no record found.
        if(recordNum == dmMaxRecordIndex)
        {
                err = 1;
        }

        //get the uniqueID of the new record.
        if(!err)
                DmRecordInfo(dbID, recordNum, NULL, &currentRecordID, NULL);

        //Update the system preference and make it active.
        if(!err)
                err = SetActiveService(dbID, &currentRecordID, true);

        //close the database.
        DmCloseDatabase(dbID);
}
