Success!!!!

As it turned out I had two issues.

First, to get demo to build, along with the other test problems requiring the dll libraries, I copied the fltkdll.dll & fltkdlld.dll files from the fltk-1.1.7\visualc directory to the C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory and rebuilt fltk (I really only needed to build the tests problems which needed the dll files).  Demo and the other example problems requiring dll work now.

Second, to get a fltk application to build in VC6 I made the following Project Settings changes:
1. Under C/C++ tab, "Code Generation" Category, set the "Use run-time library:" to "Multithreaded DLL"
2. Under C/C++ tab, "Preprocessor" Category, enter in "Additional include directories:" the text "C:\fltk-1.1.7" (That's where my fltk installation is)
3. Under Link tab, "General" category, enter in "Object/library modules" the text "fltk.lib wsock32.lib comctl32.lib"
4. Under Link tab, "Input" Category, enter in "Additional library path:" the text "C:\fltk-1.1.7\lib"
I should have figured this one out earlier after having watched Erco's excellent FLTK video tutorial, but I couldn't make the translation from his VC.net demonstration to my VC6 Project Settings.

Thank you to all who have responded to my inquiries.  This is a great forum!

Now I'm ready to do some real fltk gui developing!
