Thanks to all responders.
I forgot to mention that I took code that worked with VC++ Studio 2003 as
is.
That added to my surprise.

Thanks again,
David

I had the same problem. I just put a #undef UNICODE in stdafx.h
before any of the includes were pulled in.

Please change the "character set" in your project settings (General)
from Unicode to "Not set" or "Multibyte".
