Compile Error C1010

First off, I have already found a "work around", just I don't get why the "workaround" is working. To keep this simple, this is part of my file layout.

Project

--Folder 1

----A.cpp

----A.h

--stdafx.h

--stdafx.cpp

I listed only the relevent files. A.cpp contians...

#include "../stdafx.h" //Changing this to "stdafx.h" fixes the problem, but I don't know why, as the stdafx.h file is not in the same location as A.cpp .

#include "A.h"

Is there a reason that the compiler can't find the file when annotiated correctly, but putting "stdafx.h" fixes the problem. (also note, if you right-click "../stdafx.h" and select 'open document' VC opens the stdafx.h file, but right-clicking "stdafx.h" and selecting 'open document' brings up an error telling me it can't find the file in the directory or the build path. (which is correct)) But the latter is the correct version for the compiler... which does not make sense

My feeling is that I have a setting off, but all I will say is that my code compiles correctly in Dev-C++ (when I comment out the managed stuff of course). All I know is that this "fix" should not be working.

Thanks for any help you guys give me. If I forgot to post some infomation let me know.
