Okay, so I figured this out over the weekend... sort of.

It would appear that the

#define DTL_USE_MFC
#include "DTL.h"

lines need to be placed /before/ the call the #include "stdafx.h".  I've never
seen this before, but it works.  Any ideas why?

trouble using this library, though in other ways.  For instance, I have a
project, a Console Application project that I was using to test it out in.  It
seems to work fine.  However, when I try #include "DTL.h" into my MFC project
(where I really need it to work anyway) and try to build, I get 73 compiler
errors... most of them in dbconnection.h.  Why would it compile in one project
format and not another?  I read the readme file (something I rarely do) and
added the #define DTL_USE_MFC line but nothing changed.  I'd really like some
assistance with this if anyone is available.  I could even move the whole
project onto my svn server if it would help.  Thanks for the answer to previous
post... just had to match the #defines... doesn't look like this is the same
problem though....

I just did a debug build of the example project using VS 2008 and don't see this
error.  Make sure you are using the same defines in your project that you have
in the .lib you built e.g. for debug:

missing a define in your project that you set up.  See the readme that comes
with dtl for details.

I build the example project in release mode that was shipped with the libarary,
everything works.  The Examples run fine and the library looks like a great
idea.  But for the life of me I can't figure out how to include it in my own
projects.

saying, "error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed: Note: C++ does not
support default-int".  So I did a search for that error.  There was a message on
this board that suggested commenting out the offending line (line 448 in
boundio.h).

and edit code I didn't write.
