'mfc42d.lib' comes with Vidual studio 6 and will be located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\Lib assuming Microsoft Visual Studio is installed at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio. Link to the lib and the problem should get resolved.

With 2005 VS MFC80D.dll comes and not 42D.dll. If you dont have Visual studio 6, get that and you will get the MFC42D.dll or try importing the source code from VS6 to VS8. To link to a particular DLL you need to specify the path in the Lib directories.

hi,
thanks..

i just want to know whether the i hv added the dll file correctly..

my mfc80d.dll is inside this path...

E:\Apps\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist\x86\Microsoft.VC80.Deb ugMFC

so i hv include this in the
tools>options>projects and solutions > vc++ directories > [in this i added the above path in the library]

but even then the same error remains.. do i need to change anywere else.....

Have you gone to your project properties and added the library name as linker input?? You have to do that in addition to setting the path.
