I am trying to save a string to a database. I gets created OK and the string is saved properly upon creation. However, if I try to add data and resave, the DmFindDatabase returns -2113930468. I thought it would return either a zero or the index number of the db. My code follows. Can someone give me some guidance on what I'm doing wrong?
For one thing, sizeof(char *) is always 4, no matter what string the pointer is pointing to. Think about using StrLen instead.
Also, for allocating a string that's just going to be used in the lifetime of a single function, MemPtrNew is better than MemHandleNew/HandleLock/HandleUnlock/HandleFree -- much less code, and it's better to use a MemPtr for memory that is going to be locked until it's freed.
