Blickin' 'eckers! I'm doing the VERY SAME THING!!!
What I've done so far:
I've set up a Win32 Console App to handle the Flex and Bison stuff, so
everything is in 'C'.
I've then created another MFC App, to handle all the database access,
visual stuff, etc.
The MFC App runs the Console App (producing a crappy console window
temporarily), which does all the scanning/parsing.
Once the console app finishes, control returns to MFC App to allow user to
browse the DB.

The settings used in the Console App:
the .y file is custom built (with command bison -lvd $(InputName).y )
the .l file is custom built (with command flex -Cf -8 -i $(InputName).l )

General: Not Using MFC
Link:Object/library modules: flexlib.lib
