That article is really nice. I wish I found that in my search when I was trying to do several of those things. Unfortunately the links in the reference section that I wanted to follow were all bad.

Yes, I saw that. It didn't stop the dialog box from popping up. Jay

I also found a reference that mentions a different compiler option that fixes VC7. You can use /Zc:forscope which won't create the library issues but will make the for scope rules adhere to the language standard. I did check and this option is not available in VS6 but I didn't verify VS7. Jay

I moved the question over to the Visual Studio section since it's tool and version specific (and I notice the other forum after getting the first reply). Thanks, Jay

That was a good suggestion but it didn't help. I went through the last several months and didn't find the article. I do get more than one email a day from CodeProject so it must have been in something besides the newsletter. Thanks for trying to help. Jay
