Strange file Problem

I tried the following code in mscv++: #include "stdio.h" #include "windows.h" int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { FILE* f; f=fopen("wg.txt","r"); if(!f) MessageBox(0,"","",MB_OK); fclose(f); return 0; } That makes sense to me but it doesn''t load right and displays that message box. The file wg.txt exists - I''ve checked and double checked. Does anyone have an idea why it doesn''t load correctly? ---

Shouldn''t

#include "stdio.h"
#include "windows.h"

be

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

Otherwise.... are you absolutely sure that the file is in the program''s directory?

If you''re running from the IDE make sure the file is in either the Debug or Release directories, whichever mode you are using.

Thanks for your responses. However, it still does not work. Yes I'm sure the file is in the directory. I uploaded my project here if you want to try it.

For MSVC4/5/6, the ''current working directory'' is same as the project file (.dsp) by default.

The file in th project you uploaded is named "wg.txt.txt", not "wg.txt" which you try to open. Unless that was a mistake when creating the ZIP-file, my guess is that you don''t have "Show extensions for known filetypes" enabled in explorer, so you only see "wg.txt".
