It's even easier if you use c_str().

When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity.

Code:
AnsiString BorlandStr;
std::string StandardStr = "This is a C++ string";
BorlandStr = StandardStr.c_str();James P. Cottingham

2ffat,
Excellent. I have used c_str to convert ansistring for use with api calls, but it didn't even occur to me to convert the standard string to a c_string.
lol, that ROCKS!!!

Just use c_str() on the ansistring, that converts it to a basic string.
String MyAnsiString = "This is my string";
string MyBasicString;
MyBasicString = MyAnsiString.c_str();
Caption = MyBasicString.c_str();
