    Well - that tells you where the CollectionPtr comes from - it's a VB thing. OK, in that case you can explicitly define CollectionPtr yourself (look at how it's defined in the msvbvm60.tlh file) and remove the auto_search from the #import statement.

    Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

          You won't find that explicitly. You'll find something like COM_SMARTPTR_TYPEDEF(_Collection, __uuidof(_Collection));

            Don't be so fscking impatient - you'll find it just irritates the people who are trying to help you.

              i am sorry my friend , i found that struct __declspec(uuid("a4c4671c-499f-101b-bb78-00aa00383cbb")) Collection; and that _COM_SMARTPTR_TYPEDEF(_Collection, __uuidof(_Collection)); so what can i do by this thing now

                    Put these two lines:

                    struct __declspec(uuid("a4c4671c-499f-101b-bb78-00aa00383cbb"))
                    Collection;

                    _COM_SMARTPTR_TYPEDEF(_Collection, __uuidof(_Collection));

                    in your .cpp file before the #import line. You probably need the definition (as opposed to declaration of _Collection as well - is there another definition of _Collection later in the tlh file, or in the tli file? If so - you need that

                      Sounds like it has dependencies on another COM object. Try adding 'auto_search' to your #import statement - that will attempt to resolve dependencies such as this without you having to alter your code by implicitly importing the other libraries that are required:

                      #import "some-comm-item" auto_search

                      HTH!

                      I had the same problem importing msado15.dll, a solution was found on some Chinese forum[^], adding rename("EOF", "adoEOF") on the end of the import statement line for example,

                      #import "c:\program files\common files\system\ado\msado15.dll" no_namespace rename("EOF", "adoEOF")

                      In my case the error was raised on a line inside msado15.tlh with folowing code

                      __declspec(property(get=GetEOF))
                      VARIANT_BOOL EOF;

                      So i suppose the conflict was on EOF being defined multiple times, and the rename solves this. HTH,... ;)

                        Yes, I discovered that was the root cause as well - it was the same issue with the VB run-time - it defines EOF as well. I'd have found that out if I'd made a little sample app (as I often do), but as I do not have (and, given the opportunity, will never have) VB6 on my machine, I thought I wouldn't be able to import the VB6 run-time. I must confess that I decided not to post this alternate solution, as the OP seemed...satisfied, and I don't like adding confusion :-) Thanks for your post, anyway!

                            I worked out that renaming things in the #import was the right solution (rather than the hack I suggested) well after my previous posts in this thread - that's why I didn't re-post and suggest it.
