In VC6 you open Project Settings dialog and go to the Pre-link Tab. Pavel Sonork 100.15206

You can export the makefile and launch the batch file from there. Then you might add the nmake call among the tools in order to do it quickly. Or you can write an addin to handle this job easily :rolleyes: rechi
