In a CByteArray GetData returns a BYTE * which can be implicitly casted to a
void *.

Write() wants a pointer to a buffer. GetData() returns a pointer to an
array of pointers. You need to be more specific about which buffer in the
array of buffers you wish to write out.

Oops,

The line the error points to is:
if(out.Write(buffer.GetData(), buffer.GetSize()) != buffer.GetSize()){

Thanks,

It would be a great help if we knew what line it occurs on! Adding a
comment like

// <== line 854

would go a long way to helping us understand what is going on here.

Offhand I don't see anything in this code that would generate that
error.

When I build this I get the following error:

Never seen this error before.
Thanks for all the help here so far.

void CMyDlg::OnClickhere()
{
CByteArray buffer;
CFile out;

for (int i=0; i<20; i++) //just inserting some binary test data to
buffer
   buffer.InsertAt(i, 0x05);

if(out.Write(buffer.GetData(), buffer.GetSize()) != buffer.GetSize()){
   DWORD err = ::GetLastError();
   CString msg;
   msg.Format(_T("Error writing file: %d"), err);
   AfxMessageBox(msg);
   return;
}
out.Close();
