I created a simple project. Static linking, MFC dialog to test the build and see everything work smoothly... which didn't happen....

I get the following... (thanks for the help)

========== Rebuild All: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

sorry to reply to my own post, but I have additional information...

I was making changes in the project properties, and though I thought I put everything back as I had foudn it, I guess I didn't. I changed the properties to not to use PCH and then put that back.

command line:
/Od /D "WIN32" /D "_WINDOWS" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_MBCS" /Gm /EHsc /RTC1 /MDd /Yu"stdafx.h" /Fp"Debug\TESTMFC.pch" /Fo"Debug\\" /Fd"Debug\vc80.pdb" /W3 /nologo /c /Wp64 /ZI /TP /errorReportrompt
