VSS COM help?

[conor0callaghan]

Hey, I'm doing a project on visual sourcesafe.
I'm using ssauto.h to use all the functions within ss.
Anyhow, I've connected to ss and now I just want to start messing with the functions,
this is a clip of my code

std::cout<<&quot;Enter address &quot;<<endl;
std::cin >> strUserInput;
std::cout << strUserInput << std::endl;

BSTR(strUserInput);
BSTR bstrTemp=strUserInput;
pVSSItem = NULL;
HResult= pVSSDatabase->get_VSSItem(bstrTemp,0,&pVSSItem);
GetErrorMessage(HResult);


The problem is with the pVSSDatabase->get_VSSItem
I dont think I'm passing throught a valid BSTR!
It compiles ok but when I execute the program and give the address of the file / project ie $/blah it jumps out of the program giving an application error &quot; instruction at &quot;0x7c4fbb92&quot; referenced memory at &quot;0xccccccccc&quot; the memory could not be &quot;read&quot;

Any help you can give me would be great. I'm using Microsofts Visual C++.
