Line 7211 (where is complains about a '-' sign is:

VARIANT_BOOL EOF;

Line 7319 is the same.

Again, thanks for any help. I can supply you with the whole tlh file if
it is easier but it is over 3Mb so I won't post it here!

Thanks

OK, I realise the stupid mistake I was making. I was doing an include
on the tlb and not import.

However when I now do import I still get the following errors. Does
anybody have any thoughts?

c:\documents and settings\david\my documents\visual studio
2005\projects\testproj\testproj\debug\bbreapi7.tlh(7211) : error C2059:
syntax error : '-'

[snipped the rest of the error messages]

That certainly seems strange to me that the generated type library
header should contain a minus out of place (all minus signs should
appear either in comments or in the uuid-annotations). Could you post us
the offending lines of bbreapi7.tlh, or is this confidential information?
