Hi All,

I am trying to compile the following code, but I ALWAYS gives me a General
Protection fault at the SPRINTF call:

{
        char    String[255];

        sprintf(String,"Your user number is %lx",
                        InstanceData.ptrUserProfile->ulUserNumber);
}

Can anyone tell me why the following code works just fine:

{
        char String[255];       
        int Number;

        Number=(INT)InstanceData.ptrUserProfile->ulUserNumber;
        sprintf(String,"Your user number is %d",Number);
}

I'm REALLY at a loss.  

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
    Chris
