I'm moving some code from VS6 to VS2005 and am getting an error:

How to resolve this?

Are you compiling as C or as C++? What's on the preceding line?
Take a habit of posting enough code for us to copy-paste-and-compile
so we can at least try reproducing the behaviour you describe.

Victor,

I was attempting to compile as C++ via compiler switch /TP, but when then
project was upgraded from VS6 to VS2005 it marked the project file with /TP
but all the .c files with /TC. Must be a bug.

Thanks,
Drew
