So, I have to use precompiled headers in my VS 2005 project. Now I have a shared source file that does not have a #include "stdafx.h"... How can I include the shared source file in my project without adding stdafx.h to the top of the source file and without turning off precompiled headers??

Look in the properties (context menu) for that file, in the C/C++ - Precompiled Header section.
Change "Create/Use Precompiled Header" to "Not Using Precompiled Headers".
Note - I just checked this in VC++2003 - the option might have moved in VC++2005 or 2008, but I doubt it. Even if it has moved, though, it shouldn't be hard to find.

You could also use the 'Force Include' option: "This option has the same effect as specifying the file with double quotation marks in an #include directive on the first line of every source file specified on the command line, in the CL environment variable, or in a command file."
Very handy to introduce PreCompiled Headers without changing all the source files...
