    hi, i got a really annoying problem with my build utility in visual studio 6.0! everytime i try to launch my program (which has been compiled and linked correctly) by pressing CTRL + F5 i got a message that says some of my .obj files were out of date or could not be found and so i have to rebuild them (4 files). wtf? these files already exist and don't need to be rebuild!!! my project consists of about 60 files and only these 4 files produce this stupid message. why ??? there's nothing special about them. is this a bug in vs 6.0 or just something that could be fixed with some compiler settings ? thanks in advance! -- modified at 6:55 Tuesday 22nd November, 2005

      Hello. Have a look at the timestamps on those 4 source files. That's one common cause of the kind of problems.

        Have you changed any of those 4 files in a while? This might be caused by those files having a bad date...a date that's in the future and causing them to always be "out of date" since they're always newer than the final executable. Maybe try opening each of them, adding and deleting a space, then saving them back to disk. Bob Ciora

          no idea what exactly the problem was, but it seems that these 4 files haven't been modified for a little while and according to that they couldn't be generated well. if you ask me this doesn't make munch sense, but a little shift of some characters has solved the problem. what a crap!!

            Try to open those files in Notepad and then save it. This will help.
