Just a question first... do you need to be using fields? It seems to me that you are displaying static data in the fields - in that case make your job easier and either use labels, or use WinDrawChars to image the text directly to the screen...

My main form has eight fields on it and I use this routine, and another version of it for strings. void UpdateFieldTm(int newtime, ULong fieldname){ FieldPtr fld; FormPtr frmP; VoidHand oldhand; CharPtr fldptr; Int fldIndex; frmP = FrmGetActiveForm(); fldIndex = FrmGetObjectIndex(frmP, fieldname); fld = FrmGetObjectPtr(frmP, fldIndex); oldhand = FldGetTextHandle(fld); if (!(oldhand)) oldhand = MemHandleNew(11); if (MemHandleSize(oldhand) < 11) MemHandleResize(oldhand, 11); fldptr = MemHandleLock(oldhand); StrIToA(fldptr, newtime); FldSetTextHandle(fld, oldhand); FldDrawField(fld); MemHandleUnlock(oldhand); } It seems to work ok for the main form but as soon as I load another form and try to update fields on it my program aborts. I can load other forms and close them repeatedly and redraw the main form each time with no problem. It seems that as soon as I update a field on another field I get problems. regards, Dave Mottorn -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
