Thanks for replying Tom , I tried this and it said "not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.The path displayed is "C:\Documents and Settings\ User>" (User being my name of course). Could it be that I don't have acc
ess to this program since visual studio's path is "C:\Program Files.............."? Should I try loging in as admin?

Usually, Visual Studio will give you a shortcut to a CMD prompt that has the
path set up properly. Check in your Visual Studio program group for it. It's
just a matter of the path, not permissions (generally).

Tom, I Finally got it to run after I copied and pasted Dumpbin, linker and the supporting dll file over to the path that comes up when I first go into the cmd prompt. Thanks for your help, if you have any suggestions on how to get it to run under the norm
al directory please let me know. Thanks again!!

There are many ways to accomplish this -- run the Command Prompt shortcut in
the Visual Studio program group; explicitly add that directory to your PATH
(via the control panel); change directory to the directory in which dumpbin
is found, or explicitly include the directory in your call to DUMPBIN.
