error C2872: 'IAccessible' : ambiguous symbol

[learningvisualc]

Hi all, when i compile my program i get this error

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\oleacc.h(53) : error C2872: 'IAccessible' : ambiguous symbol
could be 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\atlmfc\include\afxwin.h(1336) : IAccessible'
or 'e:\Program\debug\mso.tlh(2072) : Office::IAccessible'

How can i resolve this Thanks in advance

this is because IAccessible is declared in both mso.tlh and afxwin.h. If you want to use IAccessible from mso.tlh, use it as Office::IAccessible. Or if you need to use IAccessible from afxwin.h, as it doesn't belongs to any namespace there, you have to modify the IAccessible from mso.tlh. You may use, rename("IAccessible", "msoIAccessible") soon after the #import "....\mso.tlh" statement.

I'm guessing you're automating MS-Office. If so, use Office::IAccessible. Otherwise use ::IAccessible.
