Hello,

I have a VBA-Script in Word to search for customer addresses in a
btrieve file. If I access my btrieve file I get an error (under
certain circumstances, described below) but if I export the data into
a text file and access this file all works well, so I think it's a
problem with the btrieve API and not with word or VBA.

The user enters some information (something like zip-code) into a user
form and gets all customers from that region displayed in a listbox.
He can then select an address to be taken over into the document (in
this case the form is closed), leave the form without an address or
start another search.

If I do repeated searches (at least about 5 times) without closing the
form and finally leave the form without transfering data to the
document I get the error:

-- Original Text in German --
WINWORD.EXE - Fehler in Anwendung
Die Anweisung in "0x650e6096" verweist auf Speicher in "0x20323171".
Der Vorgang "read" konnte nicht auf dem Speicher durchgeführt werden.

-- my attempt of a translation
WINWORD.EXE - Error in Application
The command in "0x650e6096" refers to memory "0x20323171". The process
"read" could not be carried out.
(sorry if my translation is a little bit odd)

(The numbers may vary)

My routine is based on the code snippets BTRVBUPD and BTRVVB6 from
the Pervasive Developer Center, but at the moment I'm not very
familiar with VBA.

I use the functions OPEN, GET GREATER OR EQUAL (to start with the
given zip-code), GET NEXT (until no more records match my criteria),
CLOSE, RESET and STOP for each search.

I accessed the libraries wbtrv32 and w3btrv7 with the same result.

OS is WinNT and Win2000, P.SQL7 SP5 an a NetWare server

Has anyone an idea what went wrong?

TIA and merry christmas
Karl
