Not sure about the memory leak, as I also used SelectDay() without a
problem. I did, however, notice that you're not allocating enough space for
your alertStr. You requested 12 bytes, but the string is 24 bytes including
a null.
Alternatively, you can maintain a table of pointers to strings so you don't
even need to allocate temporary storage. Just pass the pointer to
SelectDay().
Even better, store these strings in a resource file so that you're one step
closer to internationalization. :-)
Now get some sleep.
