Im pretty sure this is only a small problem, you guys got any ideas???
thank you
Can't be 100% sure without seeing the first errors (seems you've posted only the last ones), but it's almost certainly that you forgot to include windows.h before your including any DirectX headers.

OK here are "all" the errors........windows.h is included as well as dx files

OK here are "all" the errors........windows.h is included as well as dx files
Make sure you include it first. Generally, you need only this:
#include <windows.h>#include <d3d9.h>//optionally#include <d3dx9.h>I'm a bit surprised at the errors you're getting stddef.h and string.h are not part of DirectX, so why are they in the DX SDK's include directory? These headers are part of the C standard library (although you really should include cstring instead of string.h and cstddef instead of stddef.h).

Thanks a lot people, I fixed the compile errors by removing the standard files from the sdk dir and then found about linking errors but fixed these on my own.
I forgot to include ddraw.lib also.
Now i can start to look at the code and see how the changes i make change the programme. Im glad im moving on from visual basic even though im still struggling.
