when compiling db sdk i get this
--------------------Configuration: Demo - Win32 Debug----------------
Compiling...
Skipping... (no relevant changes detected)
Demo.cpp
Demo.obj - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)

when linking i get this
Linking...Creating library Debug/Demo.lib and object Debug/Demo.exp
LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib "LIBC" conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library
LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Debug/Demo.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

Demo.exe - 2 error(s), 1 warning(s)

I did the Dx sdk update and move around the lib and include files as sugegested in the forum, I even have vb6 service pack 5 installed. I think its an improvement to my last linking, I use to get 192 error(s) and 19 warning(s). could someone tell me what i'm doing wrong now?

What is it that you are trying to compile? Is this one of your own programs or one that came with the SDK?

There's the problem. Your project is being compiled as a debug console project. You need to switch to release mode and compile it as a windowed app. I don't know where the setting is in VS6, but in VS7.1, it's Properties->Linker->System->Subsystem, and needs to be set to Windows.

You can tell when you've got it right, as the linker command-line string will have '/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS' included somewhere in there ...
Oh, and it'll compile too
