Salut Patrick, I see 3 problems :
1) what you want to do is sizeof(MdmInfoType) and not sizeof(MdmInfoPtr). 2) you should cast the return value from MemPtrNew to (MdmInfoPtr). 3) you shoud check that return value before using id. (2) and (3) are optional, but recommended. (1) is the cause of your error message, since you allocate space for a pointer (sizeof(MdmInfoPtr) = 4 bytes) and not for the whole structure (sizeof(MdmInfoType) = slightly more). Thus, the first attempt to write (bytes 0 and 1) works, but not the second (bytes 2, 3, 4 and 5), as it is out of the bounds of the allocated 4 bytes of memory...
