    Votive 3 does not support VC++ project references, unfortunately. It's a highly requested feature, though. It's captured as a feature request #1585281 (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1585281&group_id=105970&atid=642717).

    Since this is already in a Feature Request, I'm closing the bug.
