Dll function which return a Pointer

Hi,
I've a funcion in a DLL which return a pointer to a structure (Record)
of mine.
I've a problem:
When I return the pointer from my DLL, I've the Pointer with the right
value, but if I go in MyPointer^.myField, it gives me "Access
violation".

The definition of my function is right (with stdcall) both in the exe
and in the dll.
I haven't many experience with dlls, but in my opinion, the problem, is
that the memory where is stored my record valued from the dll is
cleaned when I return to my exe?

Is it right?

How can I solve it?
Thank you
Ale
