Re: [wxCode-users] Env Var $(WXCODE) in dsw files

which VS version are you using ?
I created a file (by hand) name wxsheet.dsw with the contents:

========wxsheet.dsw=====================
Microsoft Developer Studio Workspace File, Format Version 6.00
# WARNING: DO NOT EDIT OR DELETE THIS WORKSPACE FILE!

###############################################################################
Project: 
"wxSheetLib_wx26"=$(WXCODE)\components\wxsheet\src\sheetlib_wx26.dsp - 
Package Owner=<4>

Package=<5>
{{{
}}}

Package=<4>
{{{
}}}
========eof=====================

and with MSVC++ 6.0 it opens up perfectly with WXCODE=t:\wxCode (my path 
to the wxCode folder)....

another advice is: use bakefile to generate your DSW/DSP files ;-)

I have removed the x flag from non-scripts file; However I also need to 
have write permissions on the "template" folder of the wxCode CVS.
The file CVSROOT\avail needs to be modified to allow me to work on 
wxCode\template and only you & Otto can do that...

For more info about "template" see 
http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/rules.php, rule #1

It will contain all the usual stuff & folder structure of a typical 
component...
