Unable to build new VC5++ sample files!

Check the following:
1. all the cpp files are included in your project
   (Workspace->FileView)?
2. you did not have method that is declared and not defined?

Most probably, you have forgotten to include a library that need to be included.... do these examples need MFC? if so, make sure that in the project menu in settings, MFC is turned on...

I added the MFC classes as suggested I now get over 200 Linke errors. All that I am wanting to do is compile and execute from the sample code. I would have thought this was ready to compile etc as it is without further mods.

Hmmm... if you did not need mfc, take out mfc and tell me what the original link error was.  It is definitly an include library or header file.  Let me know the exact error and i will give you the solution:)

OK set it back to not using MFC
here is the error listing:

-Thank you for your patience :-)

Hmmm..  I don't recognize them from a partiular file... I think you are missing a library... I think that if you add an include for mmsystem.h
and add the import library winmm.lib to your project settings:)
That should clear some of them up:)

Ooops... that was my answer:)

I added in winmm.lib vfw32.lib and acm32.lib.
What .lib files should I be using all the time? I have had these problems with several tutorials but they never mentioned these.

I am pretty new to all this and as I am teaching myself it is pretty slow going. Is there any reading material or similar you would recommend?
Sorry to reject but I have increased the points,just post another answer and you'll get them.
It is good to see new people helping out so quickly ;)
