Hi, I have made all the changes suggested by you in VC++ 6.0 i.e., I have inluded the Library file wsock32.lib into the existing library list in 'Project Settings'(Alt-F7') and checked the path setting of mysql header file and library file in Tools -- Options menu's Directory tab.
but still it need the inclusion of header file winsock.H into my C program... otherise it shows the list of errors. name of my C program file is 'mysql.c' Error executing cl.exe. MYSQL.OBJ - 102 error(s), 1 warning(s) So pls verify and give me details... arun. --- info <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is not a bug, you need to set your > project/programming environment in > VC++ to include support for sockets.
