Thank you :) Will try this.

For example, where I put

{
public:
CPersonalEntry():CAddressBookEntry();

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

Entry.h

#include <string.h>

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
