Igor was merely pointing the fact you are grossly abusing ATL...
Your code has never been guaranteed to port for any other
VC version. ATL is only supported within the same module,
exporting ATL classes is not supported.

Igor,
Thanks for the quick reply. I need to clarify my original post.

Our group is wanting to move away from VS6 and use VS2005 as our
development environment. Our previous project was architected with
VS6. I am currently in the processs of attempting to rebuild our
entire exisiting project (the existing code base) with VS2005 to verify
that we can move to VS2005 for our development environment and still be
able to use some of our existing code base.

I have generated VS2005 projects (.vcproj) from the VS6 (.dsp) projects
and have been successful in getting all DLL's to compile and link with
VS2005. I have only had to make minor source code changes. However, I
have come across the linker error when building the main EXE with
VS2005.

The code sample is exisiting code that builds and executes under VS6,
but will not build under VS2005.

I hope this clears up my original post.
Any additional help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John Short
