    Error using string class type

    My code is simple. This file is being added to a MSVC++ 6.0 program once I get past this error. Below you'll see the header and source file.

    Code:
    #ifndef READCONFIGFILEH
    #define READCONFIGFILEH
    #include <string>
    
    void ReadConfig(int Values[], unsigned int *SizeValues);
    
    #endif
    Code:
    //	This is ReadConfigFile.cpp
    
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <string>
    #include <iostream>
    #include "ReadConfigFile.h"
    
    void ReadConfig(int Values[], unsigned int *SizeValues)
    {
    	string infile("C:\\TrackerConfig.txt");
    }
    My error is:
    ReadConfigFile.cpp(9): error: identifier "string" is undefined

    which means it doesn't know variable infile

    I have #included <string> header file so I do not know what is going wrong. I already tried #included <string.h>, which didn't help. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    Code:
    void ReadConfig(int Values[], unsigned int *SizeValues)
    {
    	std::string infile("C:\\TrackerConfig.txt");
    }

    Or:

    Code:
    #include <string>
    using namespace std;
    The crows maintain that a single crow could destroy the heavens. Doubtless this is so. But it proves nothing against the heavens, for the heavens signify simply: the impossibility of crows.

    Or:

    Code:
    #include <string>
    using std::string;
