I want to link a library that I've built into and executable. The only way
I've found to specify a library to link is throught the Edit Project dialog,
which forces me to explicitly choose which library to link. The problem is,
I want to link a debug library into a debug executable, and a release
library into a release executable. There MUST be a way of specifying a
library name and different library paths for debug and release. Can anyone
offer some help?

Try..

Project Settings\Code Generation\Embed Library Named (check box)
[path]\your.lib

Then make option sets for debug and another for release.

Using the IDDE:
- right click the project
- click 'settings'
- click tab 'directories'
- in the editcontrol 'Library Directories' you put a ; separated 
list with the directory path's (absolute or relative' to the lib 
locations.

- right click the project
- click 'edit project'
- in combobox 'List files of type' selects "Library (*.lib)"
- in the editcontrol 'filename' the only the name of the lib you 
want to link.

Now you are able to make distinction between release and debug 
libs by lib-directory path's.

Good luck
