Have you recently upgraded your version of VC++ from 4.2 to Version 5.0? I think this is the cause of your problem. Have you tried a &quot;rebuild all&quot;, your incremental linker may be confused?<br />

I found out why it is asking for this library. It's because one of the header files that I'm using has UNICODE defined. I found out that the ud at the end of library name (mfc42ud.lib) stands for unicode-debug. Once I removed the define statement it linked.<br />

Thanks.<br />

Linking Error Using VC++ 5.0

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
