In general, it is a bad idea to try to insert records into a database (or list, whatever) while you are interating over those records. If you must insert while iterating, make sure you are inserting after the last record that you interate over. When you insert a record into a Palm OS database, the records below it are moved down. (i.e., record number 3 becomes record 4, 4 becomes 5, etc.) So, if you inserted your first new record above the first record you located, after inserting the new record, the record you just looked at becomes the next record that you look at. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
