I notice when I build an EXE file from my source code one day and then build
it (from the same source code) again the next day that the two EXE files does

I get the following error messages during the linking phase with VC++ 7.1.

Visual Studio 2003 drives me really crazy because of all these docked
and/or floated windows. Although one can select the MDI paradigm in the
