You have not allocated any space to store the 14 chars
of "FormNumberOne" in myform->formName.
sizeof(myFormStruct) is likely to be 4 bytes -- it
contains a single pointer to Char. It does not
contain any space to store a string.
Try code like this (untested, OTTOMH*):
// I assume buffer is just to illustrate.
// Otherwise, why not just copy the string
// directly to formName?
Char *buffer;
buffer = "FormNumberOne";
...
// get memory for formName and copy buffer to it
Char *formName;
formName = (Char *) MemPtrNew(StrLen(buffer)+1);
StrCopy(formName, buffer);
*OTTOMH == Off The Top Of My Head :)
