    vb string to char array

    No. It is just not consistent see that is the problem as related to VB. WCHAR is always WCHAR but BSTR it depends: #if defined(WIN32) && !defined(OLE2ANSI) typedef WCHAR OLECHAR; #else typedef char OLECHAR; #endif typedef OLECHAR* BSTR; -pete

    Open File

    What do you mean use? You did not provide enough information. As Ion states, if you are refering to a string literal you must escape the backslash character. If you are not familiar with the term "escape sequence" as it pertains to C/C++ you should look it up. -pete

    vb string to char array

    >> All win32 uses inside UNICODE BSTR is not == to WCHAR array. So while the point about the OS natively using WCHAR is correct, within the context of VB interfacing with C calls it is somewhat misleading. VB programmers can not effect the way the VB library translates BSTR into LPSTR types...

    EnableMenuItem

    >> I think you've misunderstood my problem... I do think i follow your post. I did forget to mention that to simply enable a menu item all you need is a message handler for the command itself. although the ON_COMMAND_UPDATE_UI will also work but of course i typed it backwards so that did not...

    Should I update adovbs.inc ?

    Personally i always look to upgrade as the primary option then i proceed to prove it wrong. If i can't prove it flawed i then upgrade. Of course the proving involves testing. The reason i have a bias towards upgrading is to accommodate future application enhancements. If you find you are...

    Basic array of classes

    Well actually you do have a problem. You need to initiailize the &quot;i&quot; variable in your for loops or it could be anything, for example -200, which might indeed cause an access violation. for(int i=0; ....) Always initialize variables... ALWAYS. -pete
