Namespace Conflict between TOpenDialog and Word_2k::Dialogs in C++ Builder

Product: Borland C++ Builder

Version: 6.0, 2006

Issue:

In a C++ application (bcb 6 or 2006 reproduced) when adding a TWordApplication and a component from ComCtrls(i.e. TrichEdit)� to your form, you will get a compilation error :"C++ Error ComCtrls.hpp(2638);E2015 AmbiguityBetween 'Windows' and 'Word_2k::windows'.

Resolution:

Edit your unit.h file and move #include"WORD_2K_SERVR.h"anywhere after #include<ComCtrls.hpp>

The application will then compile properly
