I have visual 5 c++ installed on my computer at home. But in college they have visual 6 c++. When i open my workspace in college the computer asks me if i want to convert to the new version.

I say Yes.

But then i get an error when it is compiling due to the compiler been unable to create a help file.

Please someone help me.

Deadline is tomorrow.

Well, the quick and easy way to do it is to take all your .cpp and .h files and move them if it is a console app. Just create an empty project and add em all via the insert menu. If it is a dialog based app, it could get a bit tricky. You will also need the .rc files. I dont think your professor should have any problems viewing an executable you made on vc 5.0 and you could see if you could hand in the source code. At worst, if he needs to see the dialogs, just print them from the resource editor ( i think you can do it there)
