Hello Master Richter,

it is spelled BOOKMARK and not BOOMARK!!!!!!!!!!! Booooooo

#undef BOOKMARK
#define BOOKMARK MAPI_BOOKMARK
#include <mapidefs.h>
#undef BOOKMARK
#define BOOKMARK SQL_BOOKMARK
#include <sqltypes.h>
#undef

Your workaround does not work for me!

5 years and no fix. Damn, what a speed!
Hello somebody in there?
The plebs outside are still waiting for a fix!

Thank you for your input. We have forwarded this issue to the Platform SDK Team which owns these files. They will address these issues ASAP. Thank you again for your comments.

Sincerely yours,

Simple define the reserved word for each include file to a different name!

#undef BOOMARK
#define BOOMARK MAPI_BOOKMARK
#include <mapidefs.h>
#undef BOOMARK
#define BOOMARK SQL_BOOKMARK
#include <sqltypes.h>
#undef

In your code, you have to use the specific BOOKMARK type you want.
All mapi BOOKMARKS must use MAPI_BOOKMARK, all code using the SQL BOOMARK must use SQL_BOOKMARK.

Drawback: If other header files use a specific BOOKMARK they must be includes directly after mapidefs or sqltypes.

This is a workaround that works, using namespace:

#include <Windows.h>

namespace MAPI
{
#include <MAPIDefS.h>
}

namespace SQL
{
#include <sqlext.h>
}

using namespace MAPI;
using namespace SQL;

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
SQL::BOOKMARK b;

return 0;
}
