To help figure out what is causing "Err getting rec" try using
DmGetLastErr() right after the DmGetRecord statement that is the source of
the error.
Example:
VoidHand vh;
Err err;
char errorText[50]; // declare a place to store the SysErrString error
message
vh = DmGetRecord (dbRef, recNum);
if (vh == 0)
{
// A problem occured while getting the record.
err = DmGetLastErr ();
ErrDisplay (SysErrString (err, errorText, 50));
}
// See the Palm documentation for DmGetLastErr, ErrDisplay, and
SysErrString.

I don't see what's wrong. I only have one question for you. Did you
open your database in read-only mode? If you did, you'll get a fatal
error when you try to create a new record.
