The error message I get from this is -> "Error: parse error before ' ) ' ". When I fix this problem, the error message isn't given. This was just an example. I often get this error message, BUT EACH CASE IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER. I would REALLY appreciate it if you can tell me what this "parse error" part means. 2:) Based on your experience with different books you studied to learn and to become a expert in C++, what would you recommend for a beginner as a really excellent book on teaching C++. YOUR REPLY TO THESE QUESTIONS IS MUCH APPRECIATED. THANX IN ADVANCE. Reply to this newsgroup or to burger_rule AT mailcity DOT com ============== >>*=Burger Rule=*<< ==============
