Error 1 error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt c:\Users\fred steinman\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Date Class 2\Date Class 2\LINK

This is the error I get when I attempt to compile the program.

Here are the files...

}


Any ideas on how to fix it?
In my compiler, I have the .cpp in the source folder and the .h in the header folder.

It's interesting that the file in the error is called LINK and isn't the name of your header file:


c:\Users\fred steinman\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Date Class 2\Date Class 2\LINK


Is this significant?

I researched the error and found a solution.

Properties -> Linker(General) -> Incremental Linking -> No

Thanks for the help!
