- thanx for the responses -

- being a newbie, i may be introducing a small terminology & IDE familiarity
problem, so, let's return to the basics, the bottom line is that i need to
create a non-windowed executable, when creating a new project, which new
project option should be chosen ?

- you asked "why not start with an MFC project ?" - the references to "MFC
projects" that appear when i create a new project are for the "ActiveX
Control Wizard", an "AppWizard (dll)" and an "AppWizard (exe)" - since i need
an exe, when i choose this option, i get a windowed executable, which isn't
what i've been asked to create -

- similarly, when i choose a "WCE Application" project, i can only choose
the 2 options that appear cuz the last one again creates a windowed app,
which i don't want - part of the confusion might be in terminology or maybe
different IDE creation points -

- 1 other thing i just noticed, is it written down anywhere where the order
of the "#include " statements matter ? - cuz i just got completely different
results by changing the order of the [#include "afx.h"] and [#include
"stdafx.h"] statements -

- as always, thanks for the thoughts, suggestions -
