Property Database doesn't store all properties

[rwbean86]

I use a property database to store a few simple records. I create records using CeWriteRecordProps and read them back out using CeReadRecordProps. CeReadRecordProps gives me back fewer properties that I'm writing out. Some properties are missing. I see in searching various messageboards that others have had this problem, but nobody has explained how they got past this.


Thanks in advance for your suggestions

P.S. I will post the exact code here later.

I got it working by writing only a few properties at a time.
This example writes 2 records. There ought to be a better way to do it, but this works. Here is the code:



//write a full record to the dispatch database
CEPROPVAL propval[5];
CEOID ceoidRec;

//phone
propval[0].propid = DISPATCHPID_PHONE;
propval[0].val.lpwstr = _T("423-6666"
//address
propval[1].propid = DISPATCHPID_ADDRESS;
propval[1].val.lpwstr = _T("16 apple"
//name
propval[2].propid = DISPATCHPID_NAME;
propval[2].val.lpwstr = _T("mike douglas"
//dispatch id
propval[3].propid = DISPATCHPID_ID;
propval[3].val.lpwstr = _T("new id 222"
//time of arrival
propval[4].propid = DISPATCHPID_ETA;
propval[4].val.lpwstr = _T("05-15"
//write a few recs
ceoidRec = CeWriteRecordProps(hDB,
0, // write new record
5, // number of properties
propval);
//now write the rest
//pickup latitude
propval[0].propid = DISPATCHPID_PICKUPLAT;
propval[0].val.lpwstr = _T("155"
//pickup longitude
propval[1].propid = DISPATCHPID_PICKUPLON;
propval[1].val.lpwstr = _T("255"
//dropoff lat
propval[2].propid = DISPATCHPID_DROPOFFLAT;
propval[2].val.lpwstr = _T("355"
//dropoff lat
propval[3].propid = DISPATCHPID_DROPOFFLON;
propval[3].val.lpwstr = _T("455"
ceoidRec = CeWriteRecordProps(hDB,
ceoidRec, // write new rec
4, // number of properties
propval);
//Write another record
//phone
propval[0].propid = DISPATCHPID_PHONE;
propval[0].val.lpwstr = _T("785-6666"
//address
propval[1].propid = DISPATCHPID_ADDRESS;
propval[1].val.lpwstr = _T("16 pear"
//name
propval[2].propid = DISPATCHPID_NAME;
propval[2].val.lpwstr = _T("maury"
//dispatch id
propval[3].propid = DISPATCHPID_ID;
propval[3].val.lpwstr = _T("nid 000"
ceoidRec = CeWriteRecordProps(hDB,
0, // write new record
4, // number of properties
propval);
//time of arrival
propval[4].propid = DISPATCHPID_ETA;
propval[4].val.lpwstr = _T("20-48"
//pickup latitude
propval[5].propid = DISPATCHPID_PICKUPLAT;
propval[5].val.lpwstr = _T("15"
//pickup longitude
propval[7].propid = DISPATCHPID_PICKUPLON;
propval[7].val.lpwstr = _T("25"
//dropoff lat
propval[8].propid = DISPATCHPID_DROPOFFLAT;
propval[8].val.lpwstr = _T("35"
//dropoff lat
propval[9].propid = DISPATCHPID_DROPOFFLON;
propval[9].val.lpwstr = _T("45"

ceoidRec = CeWriteRecordProps(hDB,
ceoidRec, // write new rec
5, // number of properties
propval);
