How to avoid message "One or more files are out of date.." although I just built the project a second ago?
Hi there,
This is a simple question how to use VC that I couldn't find answer now. I am using VC6.0 on WindowsNT. No matter I built my project or not, whenever I tried to run the application that was built a second ago, I always get a message box saying "One or more files are out of date or do not exist. ... These files need to build: *.exe... *.obj..."
I believe that I have to change settings of the project to get rid of it, however, I couldn't find how to do it.
Could anybody give me an idea to do it? Thanks,
XWL

The fact is that I am only one who be able to touch the project, which is in my private directory. After building the application, I ran it immediately. Now the problem is gone after I set all source files to "Read-Only".
It seems your idea is right. Thank you, ihance!

That often happens when clocks of developers machines not in sync.
One checks in file with time let's say 11:50.
Someone else gets ( but not changes!!!!) this file, but his clock is set for 11:40. Now, he will have to recomplie this file every compile fo 10 minutes....
Or let's say you system clock got screwed up - same effect...
So, check time/date stamps on all you files. Make sure they are not later that your system clock.
Hope it helps..
