Thanks, Steve, I get this in thread form so your great reply isn't included here. (AMDG). We often (though not always) have the following line also: using boost::unit_test_framework::test_suite; My coding standards manual says only to put using directives in .cpp files rather than .h (or .hpp) files.

In case anyone ever needs to know, here are the steps taken to solve the problem: {NOTE: A colleague helped me with this}.
Re-loaded Boost, upgrading to v. 1.37 {this upgrade may be a red herring, but it didn't hurt). This version is very friendly to compiling in MS VS 2008 (version 9).
Then, added the following, at the top of any relevant file:
#include <boost/test/floating_point_comparison.hpp>
#define BOOST_TEST_MAIN "Test put_your_town_string_here" #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp>
I am not sure if the first of these includes is required, but this always seems to work.
Hopefully, someone will be helped by this e-mail at some point or other.
Thanks, Sincerely,
