Qmake puts hard coded values into the VC Project files. The Visual Studios Plug-in, last I used it, puts in a referential value - $(QtDir) IIRC - that it defines, and is suppose to let you switch between versions. Where it finds the versions, I don't know. $0.02 Ben _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
