Problem with ODBC and Visual C++6.0

Hi,

sqlext.h could be included by another file you have included. What includes to you
have? Have you had a look at sqlext.h to see what's around line 1676?

This may be your problem. Go to Tools-Options. Then click on the Directories
Tab. In the Show Directories For drop-down, make sure that it says Include
Files. Then in the list box below, make sure that you move the directory
that points to your install of DB2 to the last in the list. I believe the
reason you are getting the errors is because of the order that they are being
linked. Good luck.
