Thanks I was able to solve my problem...

I had linked dyanamically to MFC , I changed this to statically linked
and it worked out ....

which is the right way to link MFC libraries statically or
dynamically ?


It's a question bordering on religious.

Static linking
Pros - no other dll's required, DLL-hell eliminated, everything needed to
run your app is included in .exe
Cons - .exe becomes (somewhat) bigger in size, C RTL/MFC code that could
be factored out into dll's is statically linked into each module of your
app, C RTL/MFC code can't be serviced with MS Updates/hot fixes, must ensure
target OS has DLL's compatible with C RTL, e.g. for OLE.


For my usage, static linking is all plus. The cons don't bother me at all.
