lock down the resource, search for the characters in it? obviously you would have something like: xx-xx-xxxx or so? if you are not changing the form, you may find that the offset wont change once you define it. so, then, you can do a MemHandleLock() + xxx bytes and read the first yyy characters. --- Aaron Ardiri [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mobilewizardry.com/members/aaron_ardiri.php [profile] -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
