WinMain.cpp Linking... LIBCMT.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main Debug/rpg.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals Error executing link.exe. Thx!

You probably created the project as a console project (which has the function main as the entry point), but you wrote a Windows app (which has WinMain as the entry point). If this is the case, then you need to create your project again -- this time as a Windows app. In VS .NET 2003, choose Win32 Project instead of Win32 Console Project.
