CHAR array to LPCTSTR

Hi;

I'm coding in C and I'm using the CreateFile function inside of Windows API which is:
HANDLE WINAPI CreateFile(
__in LPCTSTR lpFileName,
__in DWORD dwDesiredAccess,
__in DWORD dwShareMode,
__in_opt LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes,
__in DWORD dwCreationDisposition,
__in DWORD dwFlagsAndAttributes,
__in_opt HANDLE hTemplateFile
);
In the first argument, lpFieName will NOT accept a 'normal' character array.

I've tried numerous methods to convert the string, and I've used CreateFileA for ANSI compilation, however they both do NOT work.

Any suggestions?
