Thanks Dave, for the reply. (and Lion).
I figured that I couldn't use the handle. One more question - does the
DmWrite function copy the actual bits written at the adress it is given, or
does it just note the address? For instance, if I changed my code to what I
have shown below, would it actually copy the words from the string into the
database, or would it simply note the pointer? In other words, once the
pointer q is no longer valid, would the values stored in the database still
be valid?
Thanks,
meg

typedef struct {
MemHandle QuestionAnswers;
UInt8 sessionFinished;
} packed_question_type;
//part of save database routine
//grab data from handle for packed question
q = MemHandleLock (packedQuestion.QuestionAnswers)
error = DmWrite(p, 0, &q, StrLen(q));
MemHandleUnlock(packedQuestion.QuestionAnswers);
