it is very important to anderstand the new structure for VC7.0 (also older versions)

My project is under c:\\cobol\\cbl

c:\\cobol\\cbl
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\Properties          -> VC7.0 the properties folders contains information used only by Visual Studio when required
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\bin\\x86             -> VC7.0 output folder for x86 (defined in project)
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\bin\\x86\\debug       -> VC7.0 output folder for x86 - debug (defined in project)
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\bin\\x86\\debug\\out   -> VC7.0 (optional) create manually for copying the needed own runtime modules for debug
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\bin\\x86\\release     -> VC7.0 output folder for x86 - release (defined in project)
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\bin\\x86\\release\\out -> VC7.0 (optional) create manually for copying the needed own runtime modules for release
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\bin\\x64             -> VC7.0 output folder for x64 (defined in project)
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\bin\\x64\\debug       -> VC7.0 output folder for x64 - debug (defined in project)
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\bin\\x64\\debug\\out   -> VC7.0 (optional) create manually for copying the needed own runtime modules for debug
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\bin\\x64\\release     -> VC7.0 output folder for x64 - release (defined in project)
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\bin\\x64\\release\\out -> VC7.0 (optionale) create manually for copying the needed own runtime modules for release
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\obj\\x86             -> VC7.0 this is only a temporary working-directory x86 - files from this directory will be copied to ..\\bin
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\obj\\x86\\debug       -> VC7.0 temporary working-directory x86 - debug
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\obj\\x86\\release     -> VC7.0 temporary working-directory x86 - release
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\obj\\x64             -> VC7.0 this is only a temporary working-directory x64 - files from this directory will be copied to ..\\bin
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\obj\\x64\\debug       -> VC7.0 temporary working-directory x64 - debug
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\obj\\x64\\release     -> VC7.0 temporary working-directory x64 - release
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\debug               -> NETX5.x debugging files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\release             -> NETX5.x compiling files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\out                 -> NETX5.x runtime files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\adm-anb.app         -> NETX5.x project file
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\adm-anb.sln         -> VC7.0 project file
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.dep               -> VC7.0 files contains project dependencies
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.cblproj           -> VC7.0 project files have this extention
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.cblproj.user      -> VC7.0 files contain settings particular to the active user of Visual Studio
                                    so that you can have multiple users on the same system
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.cbl               -> VC7.0 and NETX5.x Cobol source files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.gs                -> VC7.0 and NETX5.x Dialog system screenset files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.cpb               -> VC7.0 and NETX5.x Dialog system generated copy files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.cpy               -> VC7.0 and NETX5.x Dialog system generated copy files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.dft               -> VC7.0 and NETX5.x Dialog system font files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.icn               -> VC7.0 and NETX5.x Cobol source files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.ico               -> VC7.0 and NETX5.x Icons files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.rc                -> VC7.0 and NETX5.x Ressources files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.wav               -> VC7.0 and NETX5.x Wav-Sound files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.bmp               -> VC7.0 and NETX5.x Bitmap files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.jpg               -> VC7.0 and NETX5.x JPEG files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.men               -> NETX5.x menu file
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.cfg               -> NETX5.x Configuration files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.cls               -> NETX5.x other files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.obj               -> NETX5.x Other object files to link
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.lib               -> NETX5.x Other library files to link
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\*.ins               -> NETX5.x Other ins files
c:\\cobol\\cbl\\mfres.h             -> NETX5.x h file
and others

i don't anderstand the the files under c:\\cobol\\cbl\\obj\\... are only temporaly working directories for MF VC7.0

and this is not the result to use for your runtime system.

This file are under c:\\cobol\\cbl\\bin\\.... that you must used.

If you have other information, please exchange this on this portal, helping so all cobol programmers!

Thanks
