Thanks Nanang, Alan, I didn't know about adding the library names in Project->Properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies; I had thought that just giving a path would be enough. Also the idea to go look at a working example was a good reminder. I've got it building now! Thanks again, George http://s299.photobucket.com/albums/mm286/Rubens_Dawn/Emoticons/?action=view¤t=bangheadsmiley.gif :-)
