How about answering your question with a question:
Why not just get the record (with DmGetRecord), modify its contents (by
locking it and then DmWriting to it, and unlockit it, resizing it with
DmResizeRecord, and then calling DmReleaseRecord when done.
That is, why the DmDetatch/DmAttach approach?
