Again, thanks.

I'm concerned about your concern. If vectorname[a] is a pointer to a Diary (and we know it is), then *(vectorname[a]) is a Diary object. This is not difficult.

(EDIT: Now what will be difficult is trying to do polymorphism, which I think you're trying to do, using a base object as a parameter (instead of calling a member function from the pointer-to-base). In fact, I'm moderately certain it can't be done in C++, or at least I haven't thought up/remembered a way to do it yet.)
