Hi,

What is the error you're getting (any compiler warnings)? How is insert()
declared? Insert() is from some external library, I would assume? 

1) your 'string' declared&defined as you pointed out here may be too short
for a placeholder for which you're using it.
2) the problem may be that compiler put the content of the 'string'
somewhere where it is not visible inside insert(); Try putting it yourself
on the heap, with something like: 
> char* string = NULL;
> string = new char[maxstringsize]; // make sure you're handling throw from
new, or check for NULL
> ..
> strcpy(string, "something"); // make sure that "something" is not too long
> insert("FileName", "RowNum", "ColNum", string);
> ...

HTH. Anyway, send more details...

Cheers.

It would help a lot if you explained a bit what "insert" you are talking
about. 

It also doesn't look like C(++), with those brackets and without a
semicolon at the end... What is this?
