Help with inheritance using modules

I have two classes, Entry and PersonalEntry, which is derived from Entry.

The class Entry is in two files, Entry.h and Entry.cpp and PersonalEntry is in PersonalEntry.h and PersonalEntry.cpp

I am trying to create a derived class constructor in PersonalEntry from Entry but I keep getting the following error message:

error C2969: syntax error : ';' : expected member function definition to end with '}'

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Post a few lines of code around the error. You are probably missing a semicolon or brace.

Thanks for your reply. Here are the contents of four of the files I'm using.

Entry.h

Code:

---

#ifndef __ENTRY_H
#define __ENTRY_H

#include <string.h>

using namespace std;

class CAddressBookEntry
{
 public:
  CAddressBookEntry();
  CAddressBookEntry(char* pLastName, char* pFirstNames, char* pStreet, char* pSuburb, char* pCity, char*
pMobilePhoneNumber);
  ~CAddressBookEntry();
 
 private:
  char LastName[20];
  char FirstNames[20];
  char Street[20];
  char Suburb[15];
  char City[15];
  char MobilePhoneNumber[15];
};

#endif

---

Entry.cpp

Code:

---

#include "Entry.h"
#include <string>

//using namespace std;

CAddressBookEntry::CAddressBookEntry()
{
  strcpy(LastName, "null");
  strcpy(FirstNames, "null");
  strcpy(Street, "null");
  strcpy(Suburb, "null");
  strcpy(City, "null");
  strcpy(MobilePhoneNumber, "null");
};

CAddressBookEntry::CAddressBookEntry(char* pLastName, char* pFirstNames,
char* pStreet, char*
pSuburb, char* pCity, char* pMobilePhoneNumber)
{
  strcpy(LastName, pLastName);
  strcpy(FirstNames, pFirstNames);
  strcpy(Street, pStreet);
  strcpy(Suburb, pSuburb);
  strcpy(City, pCity);
  strcpy(MobilePhoneNumber, pMobilePhoneNumber);
};

CAddressBookEntry::~CAddressBookEntry()
{
  //nothing doing
};

---

PersonalEntry.h

Code:

---

#ifndef __PERSONALENTRY_H
#define __PERSONALENTRY_H

#include <string.h>
#include "Entry.h"
#include "Entry.cpp"

using namespace std;

class CPersonalEntry: public CAddressBookEntry
{
 public:
  CPersonalEntry():CAddressBookEntry();
  CPersonalEntry(char* pLastName, char* pFirstName, char* pStreet, char* pSuburb, char* pCity, char* 
pMobilePhoneNumber, char* HomePoneNumber, char* HomeEmailAddress):CAddressBookEntry(pLastName, pFirstName, pStreet,
pSuburb, pCity, pMobilePhoneNumber);
 private:
  char HomePhoneNumber[15];
  char HomeEmailAddress[15];
};

#endif

---

PersonalEntry.cpp

Code:

---

#include "PersonalEntry.h"
#include "Entry.h"
#include <string>

//using namespace std;

CPersonalEntry::CPersonalEntry()
{
  strcpy(HomePhoneNumber, "null");
  strcpy(HomeEmailAddress, "null");
}

CPersonalEntry::CPersonalEntry(char* pLastName, char* pFirstName, char*
pStreet, char* pSuburb, char* pCity, char* 
pMobilePhoneNumber, char* HomePoneNumber, char*
HomeEmailAddress):CAddressBookEntry(pLastName, pFirstName, pStreet,
pSuburb, pCity, pMobilePhoneNumber)
{
  strcpy(HomePhoneNumber, pHomePhoneNumber);
  strcpy(HomeEmailAddress, pHomeEmailAddress);
}

CPersonalEntry::~CPersonalEntry() {};

Found my problem, it was in the header files.

For example, where I put

Code:

---

class CPersonalEntry: public CAddressBookEntry
{
 public:
  CPersonalEntry():CAddressBookEntry();

---

I should have only put

Code:

---

class CPersonalEntry: public CAddressBookEntry
{
 public:
  CPersonalEntry();
