Make sure that the string into which you are copying has enough space. Also, I found that I needed to declare an alias with the munged WINAPI name (in your case, this would be strcpy AT 8). Also, you probably *don't* want to use the return value of strcpy, at least not as a string. _MelloN_ - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
