FIX: Odbccp32.lib Requires Msvcrt.lib to Compiler

 Last reviewed: October 29, 1997
Article ID: Q168251
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Open Database Connectivity, version 3.0
BUG #: 4637 (odbc3)

SYMPTOMS

An ODBC application may get the following link errors when linking with Odbccp32.lib;

  • odbccp32.lib(dllload.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__rename
  • odbccp32.lib(dllload.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp___stat

CAUSE

Odbccp32.lib is not a pure import library. It contains some object code that has unsatisfied externals: rename and state. The rename and state functions are defined in Msvcrt.lib.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, make sure an ODBC application links Msvcrt.lib before Odbccp32.lib.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Open Database Connectivity version 3.0. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Open Database Connectivity, version 3.0. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
