    libmysql.dll

    Hi, is there anything wrong with using and older version of
    libMySql.dll to build version 1.7.1 of MySql++, which is then used by
    my C++ programs (building with Visual Studio v6) to access MySql
    v4.1.1? Things seem fine that way so far... Here's why I want to do
    that:

    a) I can't seem to find v1.7.9 of MySql++ that I can build with Visual
    Studio v6 (i.e. no .dsw and project file, tried looking here
    http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-mysql++.html). Anyone have a link?

    b) If I use the libMySql.dll that comes with version 4.1.1 of MySql,
    build MySql++ with it and try to build my C++ programs, my programs
    (at the end of building) produce the error:
    mysql++.lib(con nection.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external
    symbol _mysql_connect@ 16

    I guess I'm asking two things, is there anything wrong with using the
    old libMySql.dll or can you help me solve that link error message!

    Many thanks,

    Tony.

    P.S. One more thing, am I correct in assuming that libMySql.dll is
    only there to pass commands to MySql and return results?
Working...
