DmQueryRecord returns a handle. When you lock that handle, you get a Memory
Pointer - essentially a void*. Simply cast it to whatever you need.
The code in your previous message was in error.
WChar textP;
recordH = DmGetRecord(gDatabase, index);
record = MemHandleLock(recordH);
StrCopy(textP, record);
Should be:
Char* textP; // note: this is just a pointer, you need to reserve
space.
textP = MemPtrNew(size);
// or: Char textP[size];
MemHandle recordH = DmGetRecord(gDatabase, index);
Char* record = (Char*)MemHandleLock(recordH);
StrCopy(textP, record);
