GetCommandLineA Fails on Vista

[Josh Sale]

I have a VBA application that makes a Win32 GetCommandLineA call. The code
works fine on all earlier versions of Windows but throws an exception under
Vista. GetCommandLineW doesn't fail but I end up with extra spaces in the
returned data.

Any suggestions?

TIA

I would post this in the vstudio dev group instead of here. I would also
post the exception you are getting to make it easier.

According to the msdn, it is supported by Vista though.

You could try GetCommandLineW which works fine for me with Vista and Visual
Studio C++. You could then convert to ANSI characters if needed.
