That is a question for the cppbuilder.ide group. (I don't have or use the IDE personally) Search through the back messages on that group as this question has been answered many times. My basic understanding is you add the .lib file the same way and place as the .cpp file for your application. At least that's the way it was 10 years ago. > Since I started using BCB, my thinking was specifying the >path in which the library is located will do. It is good enough for those libraries that are included by all common programs. Not all libraries are needed by all programs, and many windows functions fall into that catagory. Also, any third party libraries are not included by default. Any library that is "not normal" must be explicitly included. Sockets is one, wininet (internet functions) is another. There are many more. I usually let the linker complain, then add the missing library.
