I haven't done much work with dlls, but I see one problem. From your code it appears that rtntime will be more than one character(string). In C++ creating a char* is like creating an array. So, when you do "return(*rntime)" you will only return the first character. For example,

rtntime = "hello";
return(*rtntime); This will return "h"

return(*(rtntime + 1)); This will return "e"

If you are only returning one character then disregard. This sould not cause a memory error unless rtntime is null. You might want to test for null before you return the value.


Hope this helps!
