You didn't show how you actually write your data, but I would guess that you
are doing it wrong. The records structure contains no space for storing
strings; it only contains one UInt and some pointers to Char. When you
write out your data, you must copy the actual strings to your database
record. So, *every* record is likely to be a different size than every
other record (unless all your strings are the same size). To learn how to
write variable sized records to a Palm OS database, read one of the Palm
books, or look at the code for the sample apps that comes with the SDK.
