Also, I just spotted the "FldRecalculateField" function which looks like it could fit in well with this approach - I think this would eliminate any need to detach / reattach the field's string buffer whenever an edit needed to be done by my app instead of the field. It's starting to look more do-able - thanks for helping to map out an approach. -- Stephen -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
