Trying to upgrade C++ 6 project with a VB6 ActiveX exe

Question

I've inherited a C++ 6 project, and I am trying to upgrade it to C++ 2010 I haven't worked with C++ in years, and have found 2010 to be much more strict than C++ 6

The project has a reference to a VB6 ActiveX exe There are 2 things in the ActiveX exe that are causing me problems I've simplified the code, and made sure this still causes the same problem

Public SoapClient As New MSSOAPLib.SoapClient

Public Function GetDiscontinuedWithRelationships_RS() As ADODB.Recordset
    Set GetDiscontinuedWithRelationships_RS = New ADODB.Recordset
End Function

The C++ code defines these this way:

typedef void *PTR;
typedef PTR ISOAPClientPtr;
typedef PTR _RecordsetPtr;

When I try to build, I get an error in the tli file generated by the compiler for both SOAPClientPtr and _RecordsetPtr

error C2564: a function-style conversion to a built-in type can only take one argument

Any help, or Ideas of what I might try would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance,

Brian
