When I delete the line where the error occurs, an error occurs on the same line number (which would then be: END). Could someone tell me how to fix this error.

The message says the error is in line 34, you posted only 31 lines - give us a clue!

An invalidly defined macro in main.h perhaps?

[Anubis208]

Here is the code in main.h

define IDR_MENU 101

define IDR_EXIT 102

define IDR_CONNECT 103

define IDR_HOST 104

define IDR_ABOUT 105

define IDC_MSGS 106

define IDC_MSG 107

define IDC_SENDMSG 108

define DLG_CONNECT 109

define IDD_IP 111

define IDD_PORTA 112

define IDD_SUBA 113

define DLG_HOST 110

define IDD_PORTB 114

define IDD_SUBB 115

It highlights line 30:
CONTROL "", IDD_PORTA, "EDIT", WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE, 50, 20, 30, 10

[cpns]

The following line is ill formed:

CONTROL "Port Number:", 0, WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE, 10, 20, 43, 10

It has no 'class' name.

stop posting bits of it and post the whole thing (the RC file)

you said it highlights line 34(original post)

Tell me something.....

Have you provided anything even close to 34 lines for us to see. Sorry but my crystal ball is in the shop atm and I am unable to read minds today.

read the second post in this thread it clearly states what you need to provide to get help.

from your original post
windres.exe: Untitled1.rc:34: syntax error

Have yet to see what is in your RC file at line 34..........

if I sound cranky it is because I am trying to stop smoking and I am a bit on edge!

Thanks, the ill formed line was causing the problem.

@BiT My original post contained the entire .rc file. It is only 32 lines long.
