including an .h file

[Smiley0101]

I have looked through some of the posts and understand how to include a .h file. I have my .cpp and .h file saved in the same place but when I compile I get the error that my .h file doesn't exsist??!! Any suggestions as to why this might be happening??

#include <string>
#include<iostream>
#include "avlbst.h"

using namespace std;
int item;

int main (){

	cout<< "Enter the item that you would like to place in the Binary Search Tree"<< endl;

		cin >> item;

		while (cin ){
			AVLBST.AVLInsert(item);
			AVLBST.PrettyPrint();
		}

		return 0;
}

i dont know what compiler yuou are using, but it is nessicary in msvc++ to link the file. to do this you do the following


* have both windows open( your .cpp and your .h )

* then go to project<<add to project<< then files, and you should see your header file there ... include it.

* to make sure they are together, click in th workspace bar below it says file view click on that and double click the project name it should drop down for ya
