FtpFileFind access violation with MS VC++ 6.0

Hi everyone,

I have a problem that kept poping up in debug mode at the closing bracket of a function. I've tested each line of code adding one by one and running through it. Once I added the last line in this snipet I started getting the Access violation error. If I run the code I on't get the error, only in debug mode.

Code:

---

        int radioState =0;
        char location = 'N';
        FileBrowse ConnectFile;
        CString localfile;

        CInternetSession isession;

        CFtpConnection* pConnect = NULL;
        CString Server;

        if(location == 'L')
        {
                CMyFileDialog  FileDlg(TRUE,0,0,OFN_HIDEREADONLY|OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT,0,this);
       
                if(FileDlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
                {
                        localfile = FileDlg.GetPathName();
                        CEdit* pEditSelFile = (CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDE_FILEPATH);
                pEditSelFile->SetWindowText(localfile);
                }

                InBAF::SetLocation(location);
                return;
        }
        else
        {
                InBAF::SetLocation(location);
                InBAF::SetServerName(location);
                Server = InBAF::GetServerName();
        }

        pConnect = isession.GetFtpConnection(_T(Server));
               
        //CMyConnection::InitConnection(pConnect);
       
        pConnect->SetCurrentDirectory("recording:[000000]");
                CListBox* pListMain = (CListBox*)GetDlgItem(IDLB_MAINDIR);
        CListBox* pListSub = (CListBox*)GetDlgItem(IDLB_SUBDIR);

       
        //clear the listbox with folders
        pListMain->ResetContent();
        pListSub->ResetContent();

        CFtpFileFind finder(pConnect);
       
        // Find  the first file
        BOOL bWorking = finder.FindFile(_T("*"));

I'm not sure if there is something else that causes it, but before I put this line in I didn't get the access violation error. What access is the function violating?

is pConnect a NULL pointer?

No, it's initiated to NULL, but then I assign it to

Code:

---

pConnect = isession.GetFtpConnection(_T(Server));

---

(_T(Server));

Server is a variable not a string literal it doesnt need the _T macro. Consequently pConnect probably isnt what you thought it was. Maybe you should learn to use asserts.
