Thanks for the trick :)

Thanks! There was an heaeder in "stdafx.h" that included an header that included an header tht included "resource.h" :)

I'm rewriting the functions using fstream, if you say fstream acts better, I trust you :) Thanks for the advice :)

You can use this if you want, but its probably best to create a user with the minimum set of access rights required to do what you want. Frankesk wrote: 2.

Have a look at sp_adduser and sp_addlogin in the BOL. Dave

Chances are you have applied a OS patch the XP and the OLE32.PDB doesn't match the DLL anymore. Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

Oh, thanks a lot, you have saved me... I used "Find" but nothing showed up (...) I found it in c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\ as you wrote. Thanks again :) :)

I have reinstalled, now all works... Thanks for your time

I like both the static and the dynamic solutions. :) (I love this board, too)
