No, the double backslash looks right for C. The backslash is used as an escape character for producing special characters, eg. the newline is "\n"
To produce a conventional backslash you just repeat it.

I have an article pending (Eric said it should be published next week) about using MapPoint from VC++ without MFC.
My code has tested great with the Microsoft and Intel compilers, and I've had someone test against C++ Builder (that required a few changes to get it to work).

I haven't tried to programmatically open a pre-existing map, but if you have a wider problem with the COM interface, it might help identify it?
