-I am using visual studio.

-In some cpp files the header files I created and included in my own code are

-able to be opened and work well. I tested these files too.
-The problem file im having is where the main function is. It glues the other
files together and acts as the driver code. I receive an error saying "cannot open source file" when trying to compile the code

I have 2 cpp files that include their respective header files. and a third file that includes their .h files

#

at the top of these header files "#pragma once" is written

#

they are all in the same directory

I'm not sure posting the code is relevant. It seems to be an issue with your project setup.

#

What is the error message you got?

See if you maybe confused the folder by rightclicking on the file tab and selecting "Open Location" or similar.

#

Try Ctrl+Click on #include Database.h. The IDE is then supposed to open said file. Maybe the IDE finds the file that the build system failed to find.

#

Double-check that C:\Users\Darka\source\repos\ConsoleApplication2\ConsoleApplication2\Database.h exists and isn't misspelled.

#

Finally try rightclicking your solution -> clean, then rightclicking your solution -> rescan solution, then build it again.

#

the project configuration must be messed up for sure
