Thanks for your help.

From what you've said it looks like C++ does not provide a syntax to both increment the pointer and dereference it at the same time when dealing with an array of struct.

However, when I want to both dereference a pointer to a simple array and increment the pointer at the same time the *Ptr++ syntax works just fine.

By the way, is there some setting in this forum where I can get an email notification when a reply is posted to my questions?
