I have a Visual Studio 2003 solution that I’ve opened with VS2008, and it converted successfully. However, it won’t build because the code contains some things that were acceptable under Visual Studio 2003, but simply don’t fly under Visual Studio 2008. Changing the code would be really difficult in my particular situation. Is there a flag or something that I can set which would use 2003-compatible compilation?

Cheers,
Frank
