Using Visual Studio I get this error messages

WeatherDisplay.ino: 11:18: fatal error: user.h: No such file or directory

Makes no sense to me because the file user.h is checked to indeed be in the same folder as the sketch

Not sure what you mean. Right clicking solution explorer does not show any include/exclude item. Do you mean the .h file should be listed under headers in the solution explorer. Tried adding it there and it didn't work. Other compiler errors.

Have done so now.

I first tried removing include user.h and forgot to put it back
I also assume I use the latest visual micro since I don't get any notification about available update and have recently made an upgrade. But I don't see how I can see which version I have.
I have mailed the output as requested

Now I don't understand why I get these compiler errors

And I certainly don't understand why this is an error. In my user.h I have

extern			uint8_t SevenSegmentFull[];
 

So why should this be undefined ? Also this code has compiled and worked before
(in my error list I see SevenSegmentFull and not SevenSegmentFul as cited above)

Tim@Visual Micro wrote on Sep 11^th, 2016 at 12:22pm:


Problem with user.h not found is back in another project. I see user.h listed in the solution explorer. I have zipped and mailed it.

Mistake of me but now the attachment is mailed

same issue after I restarted the ide

Tim@Visual Micro wrote on Sep 14^th, 2016 at 7:11pm:


No I'm not sure this is clear to me. Why is not the #include statement sufficient like it seem to be for all the other #include statements. According to the standard C/C++ I think it should. The two settings you mention is set to true.
After right clicking user.h and selecting include in project there are indeed no error message about user.h not existing. But instead I get this output
