You could have a kazillion problems, including improper calling conventions. Your first error message says you have two mains. You gotta fix that first.

wicked, I'll do that and then get back.

I got rid of the multiple 'mains' and i'm not left with all the errors except the one that talks about main.

I need to use the fucntionality of both these librarys in one programme but I'm starting to think that's impossible.

Show which messages you have left.

I'm pretty sure you can use them both. If you are almost about to give up then give us GWin and we'll take a stab at it.

Yeah cool I'm at uni at the moment, I'll post the errors when I get back.

What I have done to create these errors is basically added the GWin files including the GWin.lib file to the MySQL++ package. I expected this to work but my visual c++ knowledge is not exactly extensive. I don't suppose starting a new project from scratch and adding the GWin and MySQL++ files to it would make a difference?

I'm not going to give up, it's just frustrating!!

I've had that a few times indeed, I'd try it for sure.

Well, I had no joy from that. Is it even possible to have one project with two .lib files included in it?

Sure. Why don't you zip up your code and attach it, it you can include the GWin lib.

I cannot include the gwin library on here as the .zip file is over a MB in size.

The GWin library for visual studio 6 or 7 can be downloaded from the GWin site at http://nights.doc.ntu.ac.uk/Zope/Gwin/Downloads.

The MySQL++ library can be downloaded from http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/.

It's hard to include with this some sample code as it requires you having a MySQL database running on your machine.

Basically I need to be able to merge these two librarys (if librarys is even the right word) into one so that I can, in one project, draw on the graphical power of GWin and the database connection from MySQL++.

My knowlegde of visual studio is limited so I'm not even sure what to try next but if anyone could maybe take a look at give me a point in the right direction I would be so gratefull.



Thanks Ade

Well, I have a MySQL database on my local machine, and one on my website. It would be nice to have some small snippet of code that exhibits the failure.
