Connector on ATL/COM

[Thomas Knudsen]

I'm writting a ATL/COM component that needs to connect to a mysql database. When I run and test the code in a console program everything is fine but when I copy/past the code into my alt code the problems begin. It builts alright in the ATL/COM project but when the client initializes the ATL/COM component I get an error with the description:
Access violation reading location 0xcccccccc.

It's difficult to debug but I'm almost sure the bug is in the code line;

con = driver->connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:3306", "root", "root");

Does anyone have experience with accessing a mysql database from a ATL/COM component? I've been googling this for four days now and I'm still stuck!

In both programs (test and atl) I've sat up the release config:
c++/generel
Additional Include Directories=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector C++ 1.0.4.0\lib\opt,C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector C++ 1.0.4.0\include

Linker/generel
Additional Library Directories=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector C++ 1.0.4.0\lib\opt
Linker/Input
Additional dependencies=mysqlcppconn.lib

Let me know if you know anything about this!
Thanks
