What does it mean = Run-Time Check Failure #2

[sweep123]

I get the following error and have no idea what it means. The variable looks OK in debug mode.

The full error message is:

Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable name 'ent_name' was corrupted.

Help?!?

It sounds like you have a buffer overflow somewhere in your code which has trashed the stack. If you post the code I'm sure someone will be able to point you in the right direction.

Yes stuffing too much data into a char*

Many thanks for your post.
