Memory Mapped Files. Need some help.

Well, I have a problem. I am trying to create a memory mapped file and load the info from it. Well, I step through using debugger, and hFileMap is being set to 0x0000000h.
Darn memory mapped files. Thanks for any help.
What does GetLastError() return when CreateFileMapping() fails?
EDIT: Also, try setting the third parameter to FILE_SHARE_READ

Last error returns 1006. I would like to mention. When I get the file size. File size is being set to 0. File does exist and is filled with all my heightmap stuff.
One time, I was absolutely convinced that a file I was trying to read from was there when in reality I had actually moved it. When I forced the program to read from the file pointer, it shut the computer down hard, like someone had yanked the cord out of the wall. So, the moral of the story is, check your file path.

Solved the file error. Problem is:
Well, this set my file to be 0 bytes. Changed the 5th param to dwFileSize. Now it opens the file, new problems, but I am hoping i can figure them out. THX guys!
