Which part does crash?

gc6DaysPriorDate is a global character array declared like this:
char gc6DaysPriorDate[13];
since it is assigned a valid string value just before I set the text field, I know that it is always available to the text box.
The text field is a read-only field...
So Im still stuck :( for now....
Thanks!
Hi thanks for taking a look. only the hardware devices have been giving me trouble (code below)
The odd thing about this is that it works on OS 5 devices, forces a soft reset on OS 4 devices, and has a fatal exception on OS 3.5 devices. I am obviously trying to find a solution that fits all three.
[...]
Note: I have a form set up with a textbox ID = TXTSTARTDAY.
//assign fldStartDay object FieldType *fldStartDay; GetObjectPtr (fldStartDay, TXTSTARTDAY);
//this puts a string with the date into gc6DaysPriorDate DateToAscii (dt6DaysPrior->month, dt6DaysPrior->day, dt6DaysPrior->year + 1904, dfMDYLongWithComma, gc6DaysPriorDate);
//this should assign the string from gc6... to fldStartDay. FldSetTextPtr(fldStartDay, gc6DaysPriorDate);
//redraw object FldDrawField(fldStartDay);
Two questions:
1) Where is gc6DaysPriorDate allocated? Is it a global character array? Is it a memory chunk allocated using MemPtrNew or MemHandleNew? Is it a local array on the stack? The memory that gc6DaysPriorDate points to has to remain valid as long as the field is around.
2) Is the field a read-only field? FldSetTextPtr only works for read-only fields. If it is editable, you need to use a handle and the FldSetTextHandle call.
