I am experiencing a similar problem compiling my own software and I was wondering if Mr. Daniel new the tracking number for the bug report submitted to MS.  I realize that this is offtopic, but I can find no other reference to this particular error with VC 7.1 and can't contact Mr. Daniel directly.

I appologize for not directly replying to Mr. Daniel's orignial message, but I was unable to find a way to reply from any of the list archives.

Thanks in advance,
