Redefinition did the trick, thank you.

Btw do you know how to parse a date returned by GetDetailsOf? 
Couldn't find any examples in C++. I actually can see digits 
representing date and time as a part of the string, but I would 
prefer to use some winapi function to translate it into some time 
type instead of manually parsing the result.
