In the file wtypes.h there are also typedefs for
   typedef WCHAR OLECHAR
   typedef const OLECHAR *LPOLESTR;

All OLE functions use unicoded string arguments. Probably your VC++ 2.0
settings included the define OLE2ANSI to use ansi strings.

You should use the function MultiByteToWideChar(...) to convert an ansi
string to a unicode string.

This should help you out !
