However, when I try to link another form of the same project to the excel ..it fails It gives out the following error: Code: using namespace Microsoft::Office::Interop::Excel; 1>c:\users\issac\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\fyp\fyp\day.h(13) : error C3083: 'Microsoft': the symbol to error c3083 the left of a '::' must be a type 1>c:\users\issac\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\fyp\fyp\day.h(13) : error C3083: 'Office': the symbol to the left of a '::' must be a type 1>c:\users\issac\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\fyp\fyp\day.h(13) : error C3083: 'Interop': the symbol to the left of a '::' must be a type I have tried to remove the reference and add the reference again and rebuild the solution and it still fails..Has anyone try to run the excel in the symbol to two different form in the same project before? Can anyone give me some suggestion to solve it..Thanks for your kind help.
