Error in linking a lib file

[Yoshi]

Hello
I have added a .lib fil via category->general in the Object/library field
in both debug/release and I am still getting the error message below

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "obea_client.lib"

I use Microsoft Visual C++ with windows XP and ive also added the serachpath
to the .lib file in path variable in XP...what am I doing wrong??
Best Regards

Yoshi

Run DumpBin and Lib against the file to make sure it is valid and not corrupt.
Check permissions on the file.
Is the lib located where you generate a extremely long path name for it?
