Thanks, but in fact, it is with VC++ express edition 2005, which is cancelled by now, and all my projects are in VC++ 6.0. I do not think that the concept of VC++ express edition 2005 follows the framework of VC++7.0. But if you have experienced, that is pretty good to know!!!!!! Otherwise, the question remains, how to get back *.dsp files while working back with VC++ 6.0? Regards and thanks!
