PRB: _IID_ISequentialStream Link Error w/OLE DB & Visual C++ 5.0

ID: Q166084

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft OLE DB, version 1.1
Microsoft Visual C++

SYMPTOMS

When an OLE DB application uses an IID_ISequentialStream interface ID and is compiled under Visual C++ version 5.0, the OLE DB application may get the following error:

oledb.lib : error LNK2005: _IID_ISequentialStream already defined in uuid.lib(objidl_i_guid16.obj)

CAUSE

OLE DB libraries include IID_ISequentialStream definition because IID_ISequentialStream was not defined in the Uuid.lib file shipped with Visual C++ version 4.2. The IID_ISequentialStream definition is now included in the Uuib.lib shipped with Visual C++ version 5.0.

WORKAROUND

In the project Link setting, specify Oledb.lib or Oledbd.lib before Uuid.lib for the Object/Library modules setting.
