PromptDataSource +CodeGuard error?

Set up PromptDataSource as shown below.
It opens the dialog box, and the user can choose provider and 
database source etc
Through tracing and inspecting StrCon of the value returned by
PromptDataSource i see that it occupies 213 bytes.
The last byte is the null terminater.
Code guard on Open of Employment File states ive attempted to access
216 bytes when im only pointing to 212 (quadword i suppose)
Will removing the null terminator rid me of this bug? but if i do this
will it know it has reached the end of string when reading it or go on
into memory?
 and why does it state that a method is called on an illegally cast
object?
Any help apprec jim

EmploymentFile->Close();
WideString StrCon = PromptDataSource((unsigned int)Parent->Handle, "")
;
EmploymentFile->ConnectionString = StrCon ;
EmploymentFile->Open() ;
