Hi thanks so much. It works now. I can write to a database and retrieve the data when I load the application again. The problem now is that I only retrieve the first four characters. It does not matter if I write 5 or 10 characters, it only retrieves four.
static void AppStop(void) { FormType* pForm; MemHandle RecHandle; MemPtr RecPointer; FieldType* field_text; Char *text; FieldType* field_text; Err error; pForm = FrmGetActiveForm(); field_text = FrmGetObjectPtr(pForm, FrmGetObjectIndex(pForm, MainNameField)); text=FldGetTextPtr(text_field); RecHandle=DmNewRecord(ntDB, &index, sizeof(&text)+1); RecPointer = MemHandleLock(RecHandle); DmWrite(RecPointer, 0, text, sizeof(&text)+1); MemHandleUnlock(RecHandle); DmReleaseRecord(ntDB, index, true); DmCloseDatabase(ntDB); FrmCloseAllForms(); } And this is my code when I start the App static Err AppStart(void) { MemHandle RecHandle; MemPtr RecPointer; Char *s; Err error; ntDB = DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator(DBType, CreatorID, dmModeReadWrite); if (!ntDB) { error=DmCreateDatabase(0, DBName, CreatorID, DBType, false); if(error==0) ntDB = DmOpenDatabaseByTypeCreator(DBType, CreatorID, dmModeReadWrite); RecHandle=DmQueryRecord(ntDB, index); RecPointer = MemHandleLock(RecHandle); MemHandleUnlock(RecHandle); FrmGotoForm(MainForm); return errNone; } -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
