VC 2005

[ArielR]

I'm moving from VC6 to VC2005. This code.... class myAccessor { public: TCHAR m_EMPRESA[6]; SHORT m_TipoCpbte; BEGIN_COLUMN_MAP(CdboBajFactProvAccessor) COLUMN_ENTRY(1, m_EMPRESA) COLUMN_ENTRY(2, m_TipoCpbte) END_COLUMN_MAP() CString sEmpresa = "Esta Empresa"; strcpy( myAccessor.m_EMPRESA, sEmpresa ); myAccessor.m_TipoCpbte = 1; HRESULT hr = myAccessor.Insert(); I can't compile strcpy, invalid function. What function replace strcpy. Thanks

it's been deprecated (due to thread safety reasons), but never removed from the CRT (how could it?) ! if the compiler doesn't find it, you have a problem in your VS2005 installation

Interesting, I didn't know this. I thought it was deprecated for buffer overflow reasons.

Yes, it was because of the possibility of buffer overflow. -Randor

Even if strcpy() were available (it is, just not by default), you do realize that m_EMPRESA will only hold 6 characters, not the 13 that sEmpresa holds.

Have you read the docs? The first sentence on the strcpy page reads: These functions are deprecated because more secure versions are available; see strcpy_s, wcscpy_s, _mbscpy_s.
