They showed an error 'didnt work' or were they not what
you needed 'didnt work'? Its an ATL/MFC project that we are
discussin here right?
I'll add that before you could use any of these MACROS anywhere you
need to state USES_CONVERSION; in that scope.

And yes, all my friends call me Ankur_Verma (pronounce Ankur underscore Verma) only, so what you did was nothing new. I'm also known to have responded to just "Ankur" though. You might wanna try that.

Ankur
