However when starting a project and adding some files from he existing project originally build in an earlier version of visual studio these files no longer build and the compiler spits errors out as if it istrying to compile witnh unicode. When looking in the project I carn't seem to find n option tha sets up unicode. I don't want tobuild with unicode as this is a com server used as a test harness, wha option should I change to build withonly ansi functions. when the functions I am writing go in to the final product they will become unicode aware but that's no going to be a problem. Any help apreciated. Sean.
