Use strcat (szBuffer, "\\");
By the way, your check for an existing '\\' is checking too far into the
string.  The value you are computing for len is adding 1 to include the
NULL.  The offset into the string for the last character should be
lstrlen(*lpFileName) - 1;
Also, how did you get from *lpFileName to szBuffer?  Also, the syntax you
are using would indicate that you are passing a pointer to a pointer to the
string in question.  Is this your actual intent?
