Hi Rob, Thanks for the reply... Agree that I don't want to bloat the code and whist doing a bit more searching via the web, I found someone else similar plight and found a reference to the SDK. This is most likely the best option. I installed the Platform SDK from my MSDN subscription (should be the same) and get two extra directories: Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 (two sub dirs: Common7 and Vc7) Microsoft .NET both of which contain 'include' and 'lib' directories. In Visual C++ menu Tools->Options [Directories] tab I've set both the includes and lib paths Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, and pushed them to the top of their lists. Do I have to do the same for the Microsoft .NET directory. Also noted that there is no 'commctrl.h' file in the .NET one either, so not sure how it works. Are there any other settings that had to be changed. I tried compiling again with these new settings and got the same error. In the meantime I've re-compiled using MinGW till I get it sorted. The reason I mentioned that Jez may be in the same boat, was because he installed the same version of Visual Studio and when I sent him toolbar.pl he got the same error, although he also had MinGW to fall back on. The reference to MinGW was that I wondered if I could use the MinGW header files instead of the Microsoft ones, but they appear to be in a difference format, so I'm guessing no...
