    <p>I'm a beginner to programming. I keep getting this error as I run my program. I have already checked online and many people suggest to add /* #pragma comment(lib, "wininet.lib") */ after all the includes, or to change property setting. <br> I changed both so far, but the message is still there. <br> I'm using 2010 Microsoft Visual Studio and the entire error message is below:</p> <blockquote> <p>1>MSVCRTD.lib(crtexew.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol <em>WinMain@16 referenced >in function _</em>_tmainCRTStartup<br> 1>C:\Users\Username\Desktop\Winlnet test\Debug\Winlnet test.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 >unresolved externals<br> 1><br> 1>Build FAILED.<br> 1></p> </blockquote> <p>any help is greatly appreciated!! below is the program.</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;string&gt; #include &lt;iostream&gt; #include &lt;fstream&gt; #include &lt;windows.h&gt; #include &lt;wininet.h&gt; #include &lt;winsock.h&gt; #include &lt;stdio.h&gt; #include &lt;stdarg.h&gt; #pragma comment(lib, "wininet.lib") using namespace std; int main() { HINTERNET hOpen, hURL; LPCWSTR NameProgram = L"Webreader"; // LPCWSTR == Long Pointer to Const Wide String LPCWSTR Website; char file[101]; unsigned long read; //Always need to establish the internet connection with this funcion. if ( !(hOpen = InternetOpen(NameProgram, INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG, NULL, NULL, 0 ))) { cerr &lt;&lt; "Error in opening internet" &lt;&lt; endl; return 0; } Website = L"http://www.google.com"; hURL = InternetOpenUrl( hOpen, Website, NULL, 0, 0, 0 ); //Need to open the URL InternetReadFile(hURL, file, 100, &amp;read); while (read == 100) { InternetReadFile(hURL, file, 100, &amp;read); file[read] = '\0'; cout &lt;&lt; file; } cout &lt;&lt; endl; InternetCloseHandle(hURL); return 0; } </code></pre>

    1. COYou have no `WinMain()` function. Nothing to do with `wininet`.

    3. COYou appear to have selected Windows Application rather than Console Application. In the former your entry point is called `WinMain()` and no console window is generated for you. So you most probably need to make your project a Console Application.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
