Or, are we supposed to believe that you redeclared price and disc as Char* (previously you declared them to be UInt32's) and the compiler didn't complain? > StrIToA (price, (UInt32)record.iPrice); > StrIToA (disc, (UInt32)record.iDisc); > ... Code like the above will work correctly if: 1. record.iPrice and record.iDisc can be type-cast to UInt32's. 2. the 2 UInt32's can be converted to Int32's without data corruption (StrIToA expects Int32's, not UInt32's.) 3. price and disc are both Char *. 4. price and disc point to memory you allocated, enough to hold the chars of each string, plus the null terminator. > > i set a breakpoint just before StrIToA function is executed. > Then, i check the value of 'price' > and 'disc'. i was surprised that the first statement assigns the > value of 'price' and 'disc' with > the converted value of record.iPrice. Do you mean that both price and disc get a new value at the same time?

StrIToA(price, (Int32)record.iPrice); StrIToA(disc, (Int32)record.iDisc); __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
