You can use the WideString class, like Damon suggested, ie:

    WideString temp = "c:\\scanexam\\" + ebDlrNmbr->Text.Trim() + "_" +
newnumber.Trim() + ".jpg";

Or:

    AnsiString asTemp = "c:\\scanexam\\" + ebDlrNmbr->Text.Trim() + "_" +
newnumber.Trim() + ".jpg";
    WideString wTemp = astemp;

WideString is a wrapper for a BSTR, which is based on wchar_t.  As such, it
can be used anywhere a wchar_t* is expected.

If you don't want to use the WideString class, then you need to allocate
your own wchar_t buffer that is large enough to convert the AnsiString into,
ie:

    AnsiString asTemp = "c:\\scanexam\\" + ebDlrNmbr->Text.Trim() + "_" +
newnumber.Trim() + ".jpg";

    int iSize = asTemp.WideCharBufSize();
    wchar_t *wTemp = new wchar_t[iSize];
    asTemp.WideChar(wTemp, iSize);
    // use wTemp as needed...
    delete[] wTemp;
