I am currently starting up a large project. I wish to have a common library of
derived class functions which can be used by several programs (projects). I
derived 2 CRecordSet classes and got them working in a single project using
AppWizard. I then moved the files to a different directory and created a new
static library-based project in that directory. I removed the files from the original
project (a dialog based application). The static library is created successfully,
but when I attempt to link my dialog-based project to that library, I get 125 link
errors about multiply defined symbolss. None of these are my project's variables.
I think it has something to do with "stdafx.h" being included in both places, but I
need it in both places. It might have something to do with the pre-compiled headers,
but after 4 hours of working on this I'm stumped. It's not near as staightforward as
Unix.

Is there a way to modify the linker options for precompiled headers to create a
single pch file and have the static library and the application project both
use just that one pch? I tried this but was unsuccessful. Is there another way
to prevent these multiply defined symbols errors? I need help!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance,

Mike Wright
