"why?", well that depends. What does "path is not working" mean? Does that path exist? Did you debug your code? Does that file exist? What does GetLastError tell you? Is this your real code or more code that has nothing to do with your actual problem like your last "question"?

"Not working" or "why" are not valid questions. Neither are they proper titles for posting a question! It's like calling the garage, telling them your car isn't working, and then hanging up, hoping for them to fix your car, without seeing it, without knowing what the problem is, or how and when the problem occurs. What kind of response would you expect from your garage?

Variable meow should be a TCHAR*

Have a look at the CString GetBuffer & ReleaseBuffer methods.

Actually that shouldn't matter as it will be automatically converted via CString::operator LCTSTR() (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa300569%28v=vs.60%29.aspx )
