Hi,
I am trying to compile VB6 project using final builder. But it gives the following error
-Unexpected error occurred in code generator or linker.
-fatal error C1083: Cannot open compiler generated file: 'C:\Projects\VB-PDF-source\C:\Projects\VB-PDF- source\Form1.OBJ': Invalid argument
When i compile the project using the VB6 IDE or using commnad line options all works fine. But it doesnt compile in finalbuilder. Am i mssing something?????
Regards
Hiten Parmar
