Char * pChar = (Char*)MemPtrNew(5 * sizeof(Char*));
StrCopy(pChar, "Orders\0");
You have not allocated sufficient space in pChar.
You probably don't want to say "5 * sizeof(Char *)" as this allocates space
for 5 pointers to characters. The base item is (char) not (char *). Also,
"Orders\0" is eight characters long. You probably don't want the explicit
\0 since the string constant "Orders" includes a \0 already. Time to grab a
C++ manual...

Subject: problem writing to database (beginner)
I have some code which just needs to write to a single table database.
however, it's dying on a line, that i'm not sure how to fix. (i'm new to
palm and c++)
I've snipped most of the important parts here. It is dying on one of two
lines, being:
StrCopy(pChar, "Orders\0");
DmStrCopy(s, 0, pChar);
can anyone help me figure out what would be happening?
I have posted full source code at
http://www.criminalsmostly.com/~mandreko/scanner.zip if it helps.
