Visual Studio

As far as I am aware, It will happily use what ever version of the 3rd partly library that is installed at that location. But you have to make sure that the functionality is available in the libraries that are installed on the local PC. Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.

That IS the answer. I tried it this morning, and it worked like a charm. :) Many thanks, oh great and powerful Oz!

The error message indicates that the project has not been cleaned properly, as Visual Studio thinks that there should be a precompiled header somewhere. Clean and rebuild should fix this. Since this project is not your own it would make more sense to leave it as is. Use the best guess

This has nothing to do with Visual Studio, and since you have not mentioned what programming language you are using, or how you are accessing the Excel file, it is difficult to make a useful suggestion. Use the best guess

It depends on exactly what you right-click on what's going to show up in the menu and how it's worded. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak

Sorry that's not my role in life. You can edit the original to say it's been moved, and open a new question in the right place; CodeProject is very much a do-it-yourself site. Use the best guess

Thanks; glad you got it fixed so easily. Use the best guess

yeswescan wrote: error LNK: foo_external.lib not found That just means that the linker cannot find the file foo_external.lib. The resolution is to make sure that the directory containing that library is added to the search paths in your project. Using a Makefile would not fix this. Use the best guess

I just tried that with Visual C++ 2010 Express, and it worked fine. Sorry, no idea why it does not work for you. Use the best guess

After a short time of finding out how things work in Win 8 you can switch faster between applications than you could on Windows 7. And the search function has been improved and is now pretty fast. I use Win 8 and I am confident with it. cheers Marco Bertschi Software Developer & Founder SMGT Web-Portal CP Profile | My Articles | Twitter | Facebook | SMGT Web-Portal
