set value of a char **
char *str[2] = {"abc","xyz"};
printf("str[0] = %s, str[1] = %s\n", str[0], str[1]);
//try to change abc to aXc by setting character index;
printf("[0]:%c , [1]:%c, [2]:%c\n", str[0][0], str[0][1], str[0][2]);//before
str[0][1] = 'X';// ===> why doesn't this work
printf("[0]:%c , [1]:%c, [2]:%c\n", str[0][0], str[0][1], str[0][2]);//after

You allow 4 spaces to fit in the terminating null \0 that represents the end of the character sequence.

I'd guess you had string pooling switched on (/Gf) in one project and off in the other.

Not unless it somehow does it automatically. The only thing differenct about the 2 projects, was some insertion of assembly code in the one that would crash. My VC++ Kept locking up on me when I opened that workspace/project. But the strange thing is that a friend of mine who brought the question to my attention, couldn't get it to work without crashing either. Well, I am going to try to figure out more, it isn't worth too much time, but it is curious.
Thanks for your response,

What the heck, I just gave the accepted answer to imladris ....I don't understand what happened. I will let community support know.
Sorry, I really made a mess of this question.
Thanks for your help guys.

Using MSVC++ 6.
then when I add your code, it doesn't replace the character.???
Wondering why it works now, but would crash earlier today...
I will look into it
