yeah, OffsetOf just fits perfectly to StrNCopy and StrLen and all this stuff...Only the address of the field is used; the contents are never accessed. It's a revolting, confusing, and non-portable [1] way of writing offsetof [2].John [1] Of course using DmWrite means you're only interested in Palm OS, and this works everywhere on m68k Palm OS, so the non-portability is not particularly an issue here.
