Object Model Trouble

[swingkyd]

I'm having great difficulties with my object model. I hope someone can help me since i'm really stuck!

Does anybody know how to start troubleshooting linder errors?

I keep getting the following error:
"busdes.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol public: void __thiscall UserInput:penfile(char *,unsigned int)" (?openfile@UserInput@@QAEXPADI@Z)
Debug/bus_program.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals"

Do you need the clode?

Could be you declared a member function, but didn't define it, ie:

struct foo {
void bar(){ } // declared and defined
void baz(); // only declared
};

Is UserInput a library of your own or a 3rd party ?
If it is not yours, or your from another project have you included it in your project settings (I get this a lot when I forget to add the .lib files to the project)

*sigh*

thanks for the ideas...what happened was that I had an object declared in two places...

for instance:
Two objects: UserInput and 'io' both declared "ofstream fin". Since UserInput was a child to 'io', the linker seemed to get confused! (rightly so)

Linker errors are so stupid! They give no information about what's wrong! *sigh*

Thanks for the ideas. it all helps!
