you can use the V_BSTR macro to get it done. the macro returns a BSTR that you can use to obtain a CString. something like this may help/work: BSTR bstrUrl = V_BSTR(URL); CString cstrUrl(bstrUrl);

A variant type has many different subtypes, one of which is a BSTR. For example:

COleVariant vtURL(URL, VT_BSTRT);
CString strURL = V_BSTRT(&vtURL);

Or:

CString strURL(V_BSTR(URL));
