Just a random thought here. DmNewRecord creates a new record and, possibly, changes the location (indexes) of existing records. Perhaps your main form is looking at the wrong record?

When this form closes and the main form list displays the record names, the name field is only displayed if it was left blank (which I hardcoded to show up as "blankname"). If text was actually read from the field, a blank is displayed in the list. The CodeWarrior Debugger says that the name variable contains only '\0' (end of string) whenever actual text was read in. Any ideas on why my field is not saved and displayed in the list, but the hardcoded text is?
