copying form from one app to other problem

[PalmDev]

Having problem copying a form from one app to another.
the copying works and i've hex checked both forms and its
identical but when i try to load the "copied" form it is blank.
any ideas?
my code is below. thanks

copy_res("app1", "app2", 1000, 2000);


Err copy_res(char *dest, char *source, DmResID resID, DmResID NewresID)
{
LocalID src_dbID, dest_dbID;
DmOpenRef dest_ref = NULL, src_ref = NULL;
Err error = true;
char *res;
MemHandle myRecord = NULL, newRec = NULL, handle;
MemPtr p, p1; 
UInt32 recSize;

// my form is less than 1K in size
res = MemPtrNew(1000);
if (!res)
 return false;

// find the apps 
src_dbID = DmFindDatabase (0, source);
dest_dbID = DmFindDatabase (0, dest);
if (src_dbID && dest_dbID)
{
 // open new file for reading
 src_ref = DmOpenDatabase (0, src_dbID, dmModeReadOnly);
 if ( src_ref)
 {

  // get the resource
  myRecord = DmGetResource ('tFRM', resID);
  if (myRecord)
  {
   // get the size
   recSize = (MemHandleSize(myRecord));
   p = MemHandleLock (myRecord);
   if (p)
   {
    // copy to temp
    MemMove((void*)res, p, recSize); 
    MemHandleUnlock(myRecord);
   }
   DmReleaseResource(myRecord);    
  }
  DmCloseDatabase (src_ref);
  src_ref = NULL;   
 }
 
 // open for writing
 dest_ref = DmOpenDatabase (0, dest_dbID, dmModeReadWrite);
 if (dest_ref)
 {
  // find the current formID
  newRec = DmGet1Resource ('tFRM', NewresID);
  if (newRec)
  {       
   // resize it
   if (MemHandleResize(newRec, recSize) == errNone)
   {
    // lock and write new icon
    p1 = MemHandleLock(newRec);
    if (p1)
    {
     DmWrite (p1, 0, res, recSize); 
     MemHandleUnlock(newRec);
    }
   }
   DmReleaseResource(newRec);
  }
 }
}

MemPtrFree(res);
 
if (dest_ref)
  DmCloseDatabase (dest_ref);
if (src_ref)
  DmCloseDatabase (src_ref);
return error;
}
