compile [really link] question

Hi,
I'm having trouble linking a simple example using the bcp functions...
The error:
************************************************
test.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _bcp_init@.20
************************************************
Environment: Windows 2000, SQL Server 2000, VS C++ 6.0 Enterprise
I know my environment and connection handles are working...but my bcp_init()
call is driving me crazy...
Headers I'm including:
////////////////////////////////
//C HEADERS
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
//WINDOWS
#include <windows.h>
//ODBC HEADERS
#include <Sql.h>
#include <Sqlext.h>
#include <Sqltypes.h>
//ODBC INSTALLER
#include <Odbcinst.h>
//BCP HEADER
#include <Odbcss.h>
////////////////////////////////
Library I'm including
Odbcbcp.lib
I use both
a) /libpath:"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\DevTools\Lib"
and
b) LIB environmental variable points there too
I've checked the folder and the file is def. there!
Thinking I might not be using the ODBC 3.0 headers and lib...
I've check my LIB path and "Odbcbcp.lib" only exists once!
If I comment out the bcp_init() call, my program compiles and links fine
The call to bcp_exec() is FINE...
Anyone have a clue as to what I'm doing wrong?
Included below is my c file (test.c) pasted just in case I'm doing something
else wrong.

Nevermind...
Although I had my environmental variables pointing to the more recent dirs
first, it was not working...I'm still learning ms vc dev environment...
FYI: To compile ODBC using BCP in VC6 Enterprise...
My Solution:
a) Downloaded latest and greatest mdac sdk
b) Added mdac lib & include dirs to LIB & INCLUDE environmental variable
list at front of list
c) For all configurations (Release/Active...) in VC6
1) Made sure all required libs existed
Odbc32.lib Odbccp32.lib Odbcbcp.lib
(probably don't need Odbccp32.lib)
2) Set Additional Library Path to FIRST use new mdac/lib folder, then
sqlserver/lib folder
ie:C:\mdacSdk28\Libs\x86,C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools\DevTools\Lib
d)Did the same thing for additional include directories
ie:C:\mdacSdk28\Inc,C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools\DevTools\Include
In my source code, I included the following...
//ALL ODBC CALLS NEED
#include <Sql.h>
#include <Sqlext.h>
#include <Sqltypes.h>
//ODBC INSTALLER
#include <Odbcinst.h>
//ODBC UNICODE
#include <Sqlucode.h>
//ODBC BCP
#include <Odbcss.h>
e) Finally, I took OUT the /nologo option so I could see where the compiler
and linker were really looking
the result below
