Thank you sooo much... I never heard of F1 before. It opens a whole world of
possibilities...

Let's take this error here, given to us by the linker:
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file
'.\debug\KPDCLoader_Win.obj'

Now, I hit F1, and get this:
>
cannot open input file 'filename'

The linker could not find filename because it does not exist or the path was
not found.
<

Hmmm... very informative. I do some digging on MSDN, and get this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;815645

The problem I have is, KPDCLoader_Win.obj doesn't ring any bells. I have a
KPDCLoader.h (header file) but I'm not sure where the linker getting the
'_Win'.

This was a VS 6 project, that I converted to VS 2k3.

The path this error gives, .\debug, in my project's folder I have a debug
folder and it's not readonly.

input file... Hmm... I'm just not sure what they mean by input file. Should
the link/build process be creating this .obj (input) file. If so, is the
linker not linking in the correct order? Where do I change the order if
that's the case... F1 got me part of the way, but where do I go from here?!?!
