Hi,<br>I am trying to compile the Sample file VCTERM and am getting the message &quot;cannot open mfc40.lib&quot; at the linking stage.&nbsp;&nbsp;Anyone had this problem and solved it?<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Barry<br>
 
What version of VC++ are you using? <p>Pat Gleason<br><a href=mailto:gleason@megsinet.net>gleason@megsinet.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
(Note -- BM replied to me via email that he was using Visual Studio 6.0)<br><br>The library that is not being found should be found in the \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\LIB folder (assuming you took the default install path when you installed Dev Studio 98).<br><br>Inside the VC++ IDE, go to the Tools menu and select Options.&nbsp;&nbsp;Click on the Directories tab and select &quot;Library Files from the drop down window labeled &quot;Show Directories For&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Make sure that the above path is in the list of paths where VC++ will look for libraries.<br><br>Hope that helps!<br> <p>Pat Gleason<br><a href=mailto:gleason@megsinet.net>gleason@megsinet.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
Hi Pat,<br>I have totally removed my VC ++ 6 installation and re-installed using the defaults.&nbsp;&nbsp;I still get the error message.&nbsp;&nbsp;I did temporarily copy the file from the VC++ 6 disk, compiled, but got error messages about unicode!<br><br>Barry<br>
