You really don't need to ask the same question in multiple places on the site

Change #include <iostream.h> to the following 2 lines -

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

So have you looked to see if the iostream.h file exists? If you can't find it, neither can VS.

The first warning is just telling you OleAcc.dll is not used and you can remove the reference to it. Okay now the problem is simple they are all linker errors you are through the compiler process That means the linker include directory is wrong or not set at all and those are standard MFC libraries so they should be available. I am going to take a wild guess take a look under the project settings->linker->command line It wouldn't happen to contain the command /NODEFAULTLIB would it? That is the only way I can think to get that problem and if it's there please remove it.

if the problem is cannot open include file , You must first check the following: 1. Check your directories if your compiler you used was save in the same directories. 2. How to check your directories (press Alt O(Options) in your C ++(IDE)compiler then choose directories. 3. Then change your directories if it is not properly placed. (If you save your compiler in the C drive, the directories must in C Drive also. Celine
