Re: "unallocated chunk of memory" error when call "WinDrawChars"

[Ben Combee]

Here is the Stucture for the database record:

typedef struct {
 UInt16 fid;
 char  *fname;
}FDBRecordType;

You cannot store character pointers in a DB effectively -- if that's pointing to memory on the dynamic heap, there's no guarantee that the pointer will still be valid on later runs of the program. You need to store a copy of the field name in the record and use some sort of pack/unpack mechanism to get access to the string.
