Hi...

I am trying to migrate a large MFC solution from VS2005 to VS2015. The solution contains 170 projects. After a lot of work, all projects compile and 168 of them link. One that does not link is petty, but pesky, and I may return to that in another post. The other that does not link is the project that generates the program executable.

* The error that it generates is LNK1104: Cannot Open 'mfc80d.lib'.
* If I ignore MFC80d.lib, I get LNK1104: Cannot Open 'mfcs80d.lib'.
* If I ignore that, I get LNK1104: Cannot Open 'daouuid.lib'
* And if I ignore that, I get any number of undefined externals such as CRect::...(), CSize::...(), CFile::...() and so on. This is presumably because I am not linking MFC at all.

I have found a lot of discussion about this but none of it seems to help me. I can find no explicit or implicit references to MFC 8 in my properties or any project file. My target platform is 8.1 and my platform toolset is 140.

Can anyone offer any suggestion?
If I may slip in a second question, do I need to worry about migrating DAO?

Thank you very much for any help that you can offer.
