Hmm... that is strange, since you really should have gotten an error message about makeDeposit and makeWithdraw. Anyway, fix those first and see. Next time, instead of writing everything at once, write a small amount of code, compile (and test), then write more code, etc.

Please cut and paste the current error; your last post of the error looks wrong to me.
Edit: It looked like a cut and paste error or you have a folder the same name as your header file.

this is the error.

i ran the program on ideone.com, and it compiles, but it doesn't compile on Visual Studio.
so is it my compiler that is crap ?
If you are using MS Visual Studio 2005 or later, the compiler (MSVC8 or later) should be okay. My guess is that somehow you are not actually compiling what you think you are compiling. Try using "re-build all".

"c:\users\william\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\bankaccount.h\bankaccount.h\testbank account.cpp"
If the above the path to your file?
If yes, I would strongly suggest removing space in "testbank account.cpp" and not naming a folder the same as a header file!
