PRB: OleCreate Problems with Borland Compiler

Last reviewed: April 21, 1995
Article ID: Q104461

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft OLE Libraries for Windows and Win32s, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Using the OLE 2.0 application programming interface (API), OleCreate can cause unexpected behavior and return unexpected error codes when used in an application compiled with the Borland C++ compiler.

CAUSE

At link time, the Borland file IMPORT.LIB is included before the OLE 2.0 libraries. In the IMPORT.LIB file there is a reference to the OLE 1.0 OleCreate function.

RESOLUTION

Include OLE2.LIB before IMPORT.LIB when specifying the libraries for linking.
