Quoting from the API Reference: "The field UI object is for user data entry in an application. It displays one or more lines of text. A field can be underlined, justified left or right, and editable or uneditable. > Assuming that is true, and you want to take the > contents of that field that holds a numeric value > and put it in an integer database field, you get > it as text from the handle-convert it to an integer > using StrAToI so it can be written to the structure > variable as an integer? Is this logic correct? Yes, that is OK. However, since a "database" on a PalmOS device is just a collection of records, and each record can contain anything you like (up to 64K bytes), you could also write the text directly to the database without converting it to an integer. Its up to you to decide which is more convenient, which takes less space, etc. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
