A "record" is merely a number of bytes, which the Palm stores in a protected area. The bytes can contain any data you want. For example: typedef struct { Char code[32]; Char description[32]; FlpCompDouble price; FlpCompDouble taxRate; } ItemType; The record is of size sizeof(ItemType), and contaqins whatever you feel like. (Here, two "strings" amd two doubles.) If this doesn't help, please post a (small) sample of your code, so I can get a better idea of what you are stuck with.
