>One other thing I noticed. In checking the undocmented OleSavePictureFile(), I note that it takes a pointer to BSTR. In your code you emulate this using MultiByteToWideChar() to create a WCHAR. I, of course, am assuming that this seems to work. What comes to mind, however, is that a BSTR and a WCHAR aren't the same thing. While the portion of the BSTR (and this is for lurkers) representing the file name is indeed WCHAR, there is also a header portion to a BSTR that allows the string itself to be queried as to its length.

I'm using SysAllocString() to create BSTR from WCHAR. May be I forgot to free BSTR by SysFreeString() after using. Instead of MultiByteToWideChar() it may be more simple to create WCHAR manually by inserting Chr(0) between chars.
