@Daniel Duffy I also have access to VS 2005. Do you know if that uses
VC++ 6.0?

VC++ 6.0 is MS' compiler from 1998
Visual C++ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Who knows, maybe worth a try
Download Service Pack 6 for Visual Basic 6.0, Visual C++ 6.0 with Visual Source Safe 6.0d from Official Microsoft Download Center

Thanks for this. I will take a look.

Ryan,
I tried that link for VC++ 6.0 but no joy. Does it stop with XP??

// I would only dare to install VC++ 6.0 from a MSDN site?

@Daniel Duffy I don't think I need VC++ 6.0. I have resolved all compiler errors and my application runs for a while, but fails miserably after a while. I am trying to check all the database calls carefully. Are you familiar with CRecordset and CDatabase MFC classes? I'm finding the documentation to be cryptic and uninformative.

You should get your hands on MFC, ODBC books. It' been 20 years since I did this stuff.

CRecordset is just a list of records selected from a data source.

Thanks -- got my hands on an MFC book. The author is using Windows 98.

Find the books by Jeff Prosise. I think he was the MFC dude.

I was about to throw away my MFC books away a few years ago. Here are the survivors.

1. Kruglinski et al VC++
2. Petzold
3. Pandolfi, Oliver, Wolski: "MFC Bible"
(4. Inside COM, Rogerson)

BTW What about ATL == COM with templates, as alternative/augment to MFC

Recommendations for Choosing Between ATL and MFC

// I use(d) ATL to write Excel addins.
