Answer 1

Your title says strcpy but your code and errors have FindFirstFile?

Anyway, declaring your buffer like this will help:

TCHAR chFolderpath[_MAX_PATH];

Then you will want to use _tcscpy and _tcscat instead of strcpy and strcat. Even better, #include <strsafe.h> and use the string functions that protect against buffer overrun.

Regarding AfxMessageBox, this is not a standard Windows function. It's part of MFC, I suppose you cut and pasted from an example that used MFC. Windows has a MessageBox function which you can use, but you'll need to supply all the parameters (parent window, message, title, buttons).
