<div>Hi fleuren, thanks for all your help. I am able to solve the problem now, the lib or include paths are not the problem as they were already set in the environment variables on my machine. What i did was since i got an error with "shgetfolderpath" i saw that this function was being called in "fe-connect.c" but the relavant .h file was not included in this c file which is beyond my imagination. So i included the "shfolder.h" file which was in the MS platform sdk include folder and recompiled and it worked perfectly with no errors.</div> <div> </div> <div>I really appreciate your help and thanks ...</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks for all you guys who helped me with this problem ....</div> <div> </div> <div>kris<BR><BR><B><I>Huub Fleuren <hfl@home.nl></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Hi Kris.<BR><BR><BR>Well, in my situation it still goes oke. we
