As Joe has implied, you need to ensure that there are no errors being 
ignored. I do understand that you might have removed the error-checking 
code, but if you are not checking for errors, then please do that.

For problems such as this, when possible, create a small program that 
re-creates the problem. Make the program as small as possible; if it can't 
be reduced to a small program then it is better to use just snippets as you 
have already done here. I think it is very reasonable to suggest that you 
create a small program that re-creates the problem, since I have done that 
myself when I have had problems.

There is however a lot of code that is not shown; for example, VariantToType 
is not anything from the Windows API (right?). That problem and many other 
possible problems would result in an error being reported, so before posting 
more code, please ensure your program is not ignoring an error code.

For this question, you can probably create a program that is less than 20 
lines of code. Also provide a small data file. If your progam is not getting 
errors or if you can't understand the errors, then consider creating a small 
sample program that can be compiled as-is by me or someone else. I don't 
have access to VC after version 6, but your code appears to be compatible 
with VC 6.
