well, I am trying to include a header file in my project, while the header actually belongs to the other project in the same workspace. I don't want to do something like ../../folder_name/header_file_name. If it helps I am using VisualC++ 6.0. Thanks!

2Did you add the path to the header file in your Project Settings > C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories? – dirkgently Jun 14 '12 at 12:30

Is there a reason you don't want the relative (or the full) path to the header file? – Some programmer dude Jun 14 '12 at 12:31

1. Right-click on the project, and select Properties.
2. Select Configuration Properties->C/C++->General.
3. Set the path under Additional Include Directories.

Not according to this -> https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa278349(v=vs.60).aspx which states that it is under C/C++ -> Preprocessor. – shawn1874 Sep 13 '16 at 22:57

Add the other folder as an Include Directory to your project, so that it's in the search path.
You may also need to add a Library Directory if this header has a corresponding object file.

You can tell to compiler a path to search header files.
Look at your project configuration.
Look at to the first pict here: http://www.steptools.com/support/stdev_docs/help/settings_vc6.html

For Visual C++ 6.0, go to Tools / Options / Directories / Show directories for: Include files, and then add the full path to the folder where your other header file resides.
