I've tried all sorts of things to try and fix this, but I can't see any
solution.  As you rightly say Visual Studio .NET and .NET 2003 don't have
this issue (I've checked).  The strange thing is, the pre-compiled header
builds OK, it's only when you come to use it that the error occurs.  If
anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it.
