That make sense - I have tried the fix you suggested, and get the error
"incompatible type for argument 3 of DmWrite" So I guess it doesn't like
that. It only seems happy when I have &map[i].
My database structure is as follows:
// Structure of the Database
typedef struct {
Int32 mapID;
Char Xul[10];
Char Yul[10];
Char Xlr[10];
Char Ylr[10];
Char Bitmap[30];
} Map;
I didn't have the size of the variables defined before - it doesn't seem to
make a difference though. I get the same error.
Thanks for the help,
Sara
