Re: Can't get a project to build in VC++

I am using Express perhaps that's the problem.

There isn't any errors above that, although from what a google search said, that does look like the root problem. But since the examples work, I'm thinking it's
not a problem with my install and more with some setting somewhere.

I guess I'll just dig through it some more. Or just give up and see if I can get ODBC to work instead.
