    Due to the possibility of virus attack on 26th April last week, we changed the dates of all computers in our office LAN. And on 27th when the danger is over, we restored back the correct dates and times. Since then we are having trouble on computers where Visual C++ 6.0 is installed. Problem is that whenever someone makes a slight change in *.h or *.cpp file of his project, Visual C++ starts rebuilding the entire project again. And after successful rebuilding, when we try to run the program, Visual C++ IDE again asks us that some files need recompilation :mad: This problem is really irritating because for just a small change in a file, the entire project is getting rebuilt by the IDE. We tried everything, we deleted all the compiler generated temp files, program database e.t.c but nothing is working for us. This problem is present on every computer on out network where VC++ 6.0 is present. Any one wants to give advice ???

      This may be a dumb question, but did you also delete the .obj files? /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

          maybe the virus messed up the 'modified date' attribute of the files ..

            Do any of the files still have a future date? This happened to me just yesterday. Someone from another TZ ahead of mine sent me some files. Some of the files were dated several hours ahead of my current time. Everytime I went to run the program, I was asked if I wanted to rebuild it. I finally went to the folder to find what file was dated in the future, opened it up, made a change, and re-saved the file. Problem solved.

              I hope you backed up the your work space (.dsw and .dsp files at the very leasted). If your company [or you} was realy worried obout the virus attack then some-one should have asked the administrator for a daily backup (of your projects files). The statement "of his project file" sounds like you all are using different project files. Check the date (and time) of all your files. Have every one involded with the project recompile thier portion of the project. If the problem does not go away after that then you better (ask the administator to) scan the server. Trust in the code Luke. Yea right!
