Barry,
DmQueryRecord doesn't prevent anything. It just doesn't set the busy bit. You'll need to allocate another handle and StrCopy the text from the DB handle to the other handle and then call FldSetTextHandle with that new handle. Otherwise you're letting the field directly modify the text in the DB handle.
At least that's my understanding...

Also I read somewhere that DmQueryRecord would not enable the app to write to the database but it is in fact doing just that and for the life of me I just cant see a way to prevent this happening.
