SYMPTOMS
If there are changes to a header included in a .C file that cause a build to fail and the workspace is closed and re-opened, then the dependency information is lost and the build system will report the build is up-to-date.

RESOLUTION

 * Compile the .C file instead of selecting Build from the Build menu. -or-


 * Select Rebuild All from the Build menu.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, version 6.0.



MORE INFORMATION
Note that this only applies to .C files. Files with recognized C++ file extensions (such as .CPP) are unaffected.
