This is quite in contrast to the VB newsgroups which I frequent. So I am now making a desperate appeal for help from some Ada guru. !! I am working on some legacy code (1992-96). The code is for a DLL. The DLL is compiled using VC++. The DLL uses some *.obj files which are compiled using GNAT 3.04. The compilation of ADA code as well as DLL works perferctly well with 3.04 + VC combination. I have now to edit some of the ADA code to read a Microsoft Access database. I have the example for DCOM/COM using GNATCOM 1.3p which again works very well using GNAT 3.13. But I cannot compile the old ADA code (perviously compiled using 3.04) using 3.13. The problem is that the 3.04 compiles the packages to *.obj files and the 3.13 compiles them to *.O files. MS VC compiler does not seem to like *.O files (even if renamed to *.obj). I admit I am not an ADA expert and in desperate need to help !! So any help on the following would be helpful.: 1. Can i read access database using 3.04 ? ---OR---- 2. Can I compile ADA code to *.obj file using 3.13 (like 3.04 does). ----OR---- 3. Will gnatcom 1.3p work in 3.04 ? Thanks in anticipation Rohit
