Ok, I've definately nailed the problem down to an issue with the check button in my data entry box. But it still doesn't make sense. consider the following code: idRequired = gtk_toggle_button_get_active(GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(lookup_widget(customers, "cust_id_req"))); g_print("ID Required status: %d\n", idRequired); toggleTest = (gint)idRequired; g_print("ID Required status: %d\n", toggleTest); the above code prints 0 if the checkbox is unchecked and 1 if it is checked. With that in mind, consider the following additional code: sql = g_strconcat("insert into customers (id_req) values('", toggleTest, "')",0L); g_print("First sql: %s\n",sql); This code prints the following when the checkbox is unchecked: insert into customers (id_req) values(' so it doesn't even complete the string. That same code crashes with a segfault 11 if I check the checkbox in the dialog. This makes absolutely NO sense what so ever! Please help, this is driving me NUTSO! -- .''`. Carl B.
