Error with Visual C++

[hvpp]

Hi everybody,

After changing something (but what ???) in my workspace configuration, I have the following dialog box before executing my application :

One or more files are out of date or don't exist :
myapp.exe
myapp.res

What is wrong in my workspace configuration ? Which file do I have to modify or to delete to fix this "bug" ?

Thanks...

There is nothing wrong, just rebuild the application.

Sorry, even after rebuilding the application, the error message still appears. Cleaning the files has the same effect.

What is wrong in my project parameters then ?

Thanks...

Hi everybody,

After cleaning and rebuilding the project, the problem still exists. It only affects the app.res and app.exe files.

Here is what I have seen : with other projects, if you don't change anything in your files, when building the app.exe once again, the output window displays :
app.exe - 0 error(s) 0 warning(s)

With my project, even if nothing was changed, I always have the following message :
Compiling resources...
Linking...
app.exe - 0 error(s) 0 warning(s)

Maybe that detail could be useful... I think one or more files have been erased or corrupted. Which one so ???
Thanks a lot.

I had this same problrm once and couldn't fix it either. Fortunatly, I did not make a lot of changes and just closed the project and workspace with out saving them and reopened it. The problem was gone.

Have any of your resource files (either the .rc, or any .bmp, .ico etc.) somehow picked up
a timestamp later than today's date and time? Look in explorer, sorted by "modified" to check. This
can happen if your PC's clock has been messed with (as someone said earlier) or maybe if
you've copied a bitmap or something from another machine with an erroneous clock. This
might cause VC++ to think your exe is out-of-date, even if it has just been built, as
there is perpetually a more recent source-file around. It's a theory anyway...

OK !

I've found what was wrong in my project ! I had changed for a reason that I cannot remember, the system date in my computer.
Some hours after, I decided to create additional icons to my project !!!

When I saw that the system date was not exact, I changed it once again...

The error message appeared then ! To resolve the problem, I just saved once again the "out of date" incriminated files...

Thanks a lot for your help.
