Kade: You have a basic C misconception here.
A DB record should (can only) contain that actual strings themselves, NOT pointers to them. -bob mckenzie, palmsource pdx. -----Original Message----- From: Kade P. Cole [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 7:35 AM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Palm PDB Database Help I am trying to write my first Palm application. I am having some trouble with reading values from a PDB file I created from a database. I have 7 Fields and they are all character strings in the database. Every time I try and read one I get a bad memory reference error. I am getting the memory address of the record into a MemHandle variable. Then I am setting the memory reference = my struct for a database entry. My struct looks like this: typedef struct MLSDB { Char* date; /* Date of Game/Event */ Char* away; /* Away team name, 51 characters allowed */ Char* home; /* Home team name, 51 characters allowed */ Char* time; /* Time of Game/Event */ Char* TV; /* TV Station of Game, 51 characters allowed */ Char* results; /* Results of Game, 51 characters allowed */ Char* attendence; /* Attendence of Game, 51 characters allowed */ } MLSDB; The problem is that I can not figure out how to compute the StrLen or length of the character strings in the database so I can initialize the struct members to the correct sizes. Can anyone out there help me with this? Thanks for your time. Please let me know if I need to post more info. Thanks, Kade P.
