Hi Matt,

I'm trying to find an existing record in a sorted database, rather 
than insert a new record.  As I understand it, I have to create the 
packed record with the key value in memory somehow rather than use 
DmNewRecord.  I thought that if I use DmNewRecord and pack it with 
the key value, it would write the record to the database again? Of 
course, I could be completely wrong!

What do you think?

Thanks,

Nick
