    Error when saving voice using mciSendString

    I am using the following line of code to save a voice file (.wav) to
    disk and it works fine when the filename contains no spaces. However
    the file doesn't get saved when its name contains a space. Does anyone
    know what is going wrong and how I can fix it ?


    nReturn = mciSendString(" save Voice1 " & m_sVoiceFile, "0", 0, 0)

      Untested: Surround the path with double quotation characters
      ('ControlChars. Quote' or two consecutive double quotes inside a string
      literal) or convert it to the old 8.3 path format (this is IMO only possible
      using p/invoke calls too).
