newbie from VC7.1 link issue

I want to use the date_time libs as static libraries. The Boost 
Libs built with no errors and I have the requisite vc7.1 libraries --
I did nothing special to compile them.

I even have the entire file/directory structure staged off of my 
root in a "C:\Boost" sub just for GP.

I added to my "VC++Properties\Include Files" property to point 
to "C:\Boost" and added to my "VC++Properties\Library Files" to 
point to the same as well as "C:\Boost\bin", "C:\Boost\bin\boost" as 
well as "C:\Boost\bin\boost\libs"

My problem is that I cannot get the file to link when I build my 
VC++ project as it errors out with a: "WT300_QAHarness fatal error 
LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-sgd-1_31.lib'
". I checked and the file does exist.

I've read through all the documentation as well as perused the 
archives. But I'm not sure what I'm missing here.

any help would be appreciated...
