how to fill the content of an object from more than 1 forms?

[John Lai]

For simplicity, the following is to get the name from form 1 and get the id 
from form 2.

////////////////////////////header.h

typedef struct {
char *name;
char *id;
} StudentRecordType;
extern StudentRecordType std; //declare std as a global variable

////////////////////////////form1.c

StudentRecordType std; //define std

void fun1(void)
{
char *name = GetFieldText(Form1NameField); //this function can return the 
user input value
std.name = name;

FrmGotoForm(Form2Form); //go to form 2
}
////////////////////////////form2.c

void fun2(void)
{
char *id = GetFieldText(Form1IDField); //this function can return the user 
input value
std.id = id;

//when debugging, I found, name pointer points to anywhere, not the original 
value.
//write std to DB here
}

how to solve it? Please help.
