TITLE   :PRB: C2189 and C2857 Errors When AFXDB.H Used for UNICODE
PRODUCT :Microsoft C Compiler

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), included with:
    - *EDITOR Please do not choose this product*Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition* use 241, 265, 225, versions 2.0, 2.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When attempting to build an AppWizard-generated DLL or EXE with ODBC support,
two compiler errors are generated when STDAFX.CPP is compiled :

   <Path>\msvc20\mfc\include\afxdb.h(15): error C2189: #error: Database
   classes not supported in this library variant.

   <Path>\stdafx.cpp(7): error C2857: '#include' statement specified with
   the /Ycstdafx.h command-line option was not found in the source file.

CAUSE
=====

The project settings for the DLL or EXE have been changed so that _UNICODE is
defined, instead of _MBCS.

When using AppWizard to generate a DLL or an EXE with ODBC support, AppWizard
automatically adds the following to the STDAFX.H file it generates:

      #include <afxdb.h>

However, ODBC does not support Unicode, so MFC produces a compilation error
whenever an attempt is made to build a Unicode application or DLL that includes
the MFC database classes header file (AFXDB.H).

RESOLUTION
==========

1. If you are not using the MFC database classes, remove the following line from
   your STDAFX.H file:

      #include <afxdb.h>

2. If you are using the MFC database classes, do not build a Unicode variant of
   your DLL or EXE. The database classes rely on ODBC, which does not support
   Unicode.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
