Error C2146 C2501

the start my "innocence" in C++. :cheesy: I did some "C" progs but I ran over a C++ code which I am supposed to modify. Modifications are not hard, but it is hard to get a compilation. :sad: I don't know what compiler had been originally used because these folks are long gone ... I am including the code (minus functions) and the errors hoping that someone could help me. Many Thnks and sorry for the lenghty message ...

As it complains about DWORDi would suspect that you don't include the proper header.In other case.. post the relevant winspool.h and your include lineshere so we can have a closer look.- Sten d***@rheal.com 2005-02-01 15:02:18 UTC PermalinkRaw Message Hi,here is the content of winspool.h/*++Copyright (c) 1990-1996 Microsoft CorporationModule Name:WinSpool.hAbstract:Header file for Print APIsRevision History:--*/#ifndef _WINSPOOL_#define _WINSPOOL_#ifdef __cplusplusextern "C" {#endif#ifdef _WINUSER_#include #endiftypedef struct _PRINTER_INFO_1A {DWORD Flags;LPSTR pDescription;LPSTR pName;LPSTR pComment;} PRINTER_INFO_1A, *PPRINTER_INFO_1A, *LPPRINTER_INFO_1A;typedef struct _PRINTER_INFO_1W {DWORD Flags;LPWSTR pDescription;LPWSTR pName;LPWSTR pComment;} PRINTER_INFO_1W, *PPRINTER_INFO_1W, *LPPRINTER_INFO_1W;#ifdef UNICODEtypedef PRINTER_INFO_1W PRINTER_INFO_1;typedef PPRINTER_INFO_1W PPRINTER_INFO_1;typedef LPPRINTER_INFO_1W LPPRINTER_INFO_1;#elsetypedef PRINTER_INFO_1A PRINTER_INFO_1;typedef PPRINTER_INFO_1A PPRINTER_INFO_1;typedef LPPRINTER_INFO_1A LPPRINTER_INFO_1;#endif // UNICODEtypedef struct _PRINTER_INFO_2A {LPSTR pServerName;LPSTR pPrinterName;LPSTR pShareName;LPSTR pPortName;LPSTR pDriverName;LPSTR pComment;
