    Unhappy String Conversion? Should be simple.

    Hi.

    I'm trying to populate a BSTR variable with a value from an edit control on a form that I have created a variable for (m_Edit). m_Edit is a CString object, but I keep getting a conversion error.

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    Also, a web reference for data type conversations in Visual C++ would be handy also.

    Thanks in advance.

    That's just what I was looking for. Your example did the trick!

    Thanks, again.
