Please help.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

PIP_ADAPTER_INFO pinfo;
unsigned long len;
AnsiString m_macaddress;

GetAdaptersInfo(pinfo,&len);

  m_macaddress.Format("%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",
                    pinfo->Address[0]);//,pinfo->Address[1],
                                pinfo->Address[2],pinfo->Address[3],
                                       pinfo->Address[4],pinfo->Address[5]);

Using the above code, I get a compiler error that says:
 Type mismatch in parameter 'args'(wanted 'const TVarRec*, got 'unsigned
char')

All I want to do is cast the mac address retrieved like 44:45:53:54:42:00.
How do I do this?
