    Variable conversion...

    How would I convert an OPENFILENAME to a const CHAR* ?

    I need to for the ShellExecute command...

    I've tried casting, but it can't convert it...

    OPENFILENAME is a struture. You can pass the lpstrFile member to the shellexecute function.

    Perhaps you want the lpstrFile of the OPENFILENAME structure.
