Thanks, that solved the problem.

We tried specifying the library (boost_regex_vc7_mdi.lib) we wanted, but 
that didn't work, as it seems that the names of the symbols exported by 
the Boost regex library were not the same as they would have been for
boost_regex_vc7_mdid.lib (unless we were doing something else wrong). 
But that doesn't matter, since your first suggestion above worked perfectly.

Thanks again!

Bob

PS: By the way, kudos is in order.  In all the decades I've been in this 
business, your regex package is the only third-party library I've used 
in a production system in which I have never found a bug.

Cheers!
